Presence…the humble moment

'View from the Porch' 1 trillion by David Filippone

‘View from the Porch’ 1 trillion by David Filippone

Talk about a bubble of your own projections…I have imagined… What if I sold the house, bought a live-in R V and traveled the continent. I envisioned the fabulous places this country, Canada, and southern countries might offer. Dreams of waters, caverns, shorelines, mountains, and plains divine … But… I noticed my reveries were envisioned from the perspective of my beloved porch… 😱

Then I realized the reveries I projected were the deep feelings of unity I was experiencing AS I projected. Then I realized what I was dreaming about I already had here… Then I saw it wasn’t here, it was my presence that was the bliss, the very foundation of this experience.

Then I realized no one understood this but me. It was an insight of the precious moment…

    David,
    Day dreaming about packing up to see the beauty of the world while you have that beautiful porch with sunlight pouring in through the branches, feels like pining for that a second piece of pie while you are still eating the first one, still warm from the oven.
    But that’s from someone who doesn’t feel tempted to travel or try out new auth0rs, study new subjects.
    Michael
