Satori

As i neared that huge ancient tree during my evening walk, i felt an urge to sit by the banks of the lake. Ive known this lake my whole life but today, there was something different about it, something more profound.

As my gaze swept over the shimmering surface of the lake reflecting the late evening sky beyond the hills.. something started to happen within me. A shift of consciousness. This was it, the moment i had been waiting for in this lifetime.

The grass at my feet turned vibrant green.. came totally alive. Everything quietened down. Then it became still..silent.. yet living. I became still. All i heard was the soft breathing of my body. Like on an autopilot, my body kept operating but my mind was ceasing to be.

Seconds passed.. every tangible thing just melted away until, there was no boundary between me and the grass and the waters and the sky and everything else in between and beyond. Finally I knew what it meant to be one with everything, what it meant by being one for all.

That state was perfect.. as it is. No thoughts, no urges.. just being. Life existed in everything and everyone as singular yet connected experience...just perfect. No need for change. That moment was present and complete. It was silly that i had every questioned what was life. I was life, life was me. No need for queries.

Then it occured to her. This was going to be the highest moment of my lifetime. And that beyond that i didnt really hv any other higher purpose in this life. All I had to do is embrace what life was giving me to experience. To stop fighthing against it. To learn to love and give love. To be human. As simple as that.

And with that, awareness crept back into my limbs and thinking came back with it. As i came back to my reality, i knew something in me had changed forever. I had been given a new lease of life, i was truly blessed.
