A truly aware and mindful human being often exists beyond petty details and, concomitantly, doesn’t need to depend on stimulus after stimulus to be attentive and content. Though experience is often necessary, a deeply aware mind can sagaciously exist in (or, rather, “as”) a timeless domain beyond mundane experience (beyond the continuum of mere cause/effect relationships); or, though this may seem rather odd, it sometimes functions where experience is a minimal phenomenon that is sometimes secondary or “in the background.” If one is merely immersed in (and responding “as”) experience, one is merely part of cause and effect events (that are always partial, always conditioned). A fluid mind that is not merely dependent on causal phenomena may be whole (and not merely dependent on what is fragmentary, conditioned, and partial). Then, when such a mind is experiencing (which is often very necessary)… it does so with great sensitivity and care. Its experiencing then involves a wholeness; experiencing involved with that wholeness has sensitivity which loves nature, the rivers, the people, and the land. Then there isn’t a fragmentary, separate set of experiences that are only out for themselves.

hope to find
that mindful being
as beautifully
as the butterfly 🙂
Thanks very much!
We’ve got to be careful with this, though, It’s a very subtle thing. One had to find that elusive butterfly. However, that other thing may not be of the domain involving “finding.” Finding involves time and searching. This may be something — rather timeless – where actual finding and search (at some point) has no place. I’m sure, from what you’ve posted in the past, you understand this! 🙂
beautiful! the words and the image!
Thank you!!
