Stop. Watch. Be. No moving. No creating. No yesterday. No tomorrow. No behind. No forward. No creating. No worrying. Soak in the view and let yourself be enveloped by it. You are not against it. Not over it. Not opposed. You are in and only in. You are you only here. Most of the time we spend moving, thinking, trying, looking, remembering, and eveything else. Movement revolves around purpose--my purpose, our purpose. Intention. Projection.

Give it up for a moment. Focus your attention on something other--realize its existence. Let the primordial reality of our shared genetic heritage--the development of all things from an explosion 15 billion years ago to the diverse array of difference before us--related and other; one and not. There is unity here. There is mystery. The key is to let you--the subject, stop letting it be an object of intention or purpose--and simply be. No worry. No concern. Just.

Why? "I don't have time." What's with the cosmic bullshit? Meditation?

It is in those scarce moments of still recogntion that the mystery creeps in and reminds us that there is more to the universe than ourselves and more to being than everyday bullshit. If there is a reason for living it is found in appreciation of these others and finding our role within this whole strange framework.
