\u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6we can let time become our guide. Before we can act, we must be ready to bring out the negative; must see the situation we are caught in. Then, in the midst of that situation, we can ask: Can we apply \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpositive time\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 instead? Perhaps we have memories of times when wonderment and wholesome feelings seemed natural; if so, we can invite this presence into our lives. Can we recall positive thoughts and feelings and imprint them in our memory? Can we be our own friend and counselor? Can we see with fresh eyes?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Images arise, together with memories related to images. We trace the activity of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpointing out\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 through what is already known, building up what proceeds from what has gone before.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6a difference begins to emerge between contacting memories of the past and contacting the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpastness\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 of time itself. Our ordinary experience of the past seems to be a rather random recycling of memories. It happens all the time, bidden or unbidden. But carefully exploring the structure beneath, around, or within these images reveals time in a different, more direct way.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153With You In my Mind<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 More than the space of sound, the gentle flow offers, it gives permission to the listener \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the Lover \u00e2\u20ac\u201d to go deeper, and I do. A luminous listening field widens and includes more than sound\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 a heart flutters among steady beats as Space opens and life is displayed before me\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 field after rolling field of history\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Pockets of time, space for the unexpected\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Hills and valleys of childhood memories and impressions\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 decades of decisions, and those flashes flesh-out an unfinished sense of myself, leaving the unsaid and unknown. A discordant note flowing with the smooth and silky, an edge of the future feel, anticipating\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 A not-quite, halting-hesitant kiss between lovers, the intimate feel of warm breath\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Other senses join in, a kind of synesthetic symphony of touch, scent, and taste waft over and through the branches of my being. Lift and lilt float my thoughts in a melodic stream of sweet and tart, discord and harmonic, over and undertones, marking and embarking on a rhythm of time.<\/p>\n
