Such a beautiful n' eloquent hymn to living a true life - thnx for sharin' w/ us all Coralinni's!!

This poem speaks of a universal truth -- dat da life we live....is sooo sacred - and impermanent - much as in all things in existence......In da course of our lifetime we are capable of experiencin' da whole - da true reality of things....as they are - capable of feelin' da entire universe within us ~ and soo much more.......Yet it's so sad.....how many of us....living fast-paced hectic lives - caught up in da extraneous pursuits of da world......tempted by da maya dat is prevalent - creating a world of illusion....dat we are in......but we are not aware of -- much like a single fish in a large aquarium: does da fish understand he/she is in a large aquarium....decorated to look like a whole world on its own???

We've gotten so meshed into da "supposed-to-do" ways of thinking.......and forgotten our true origins.......what life really is........and in essence......have enclosed ourselves in such an "aquarium" - where we are unaware of da totality of everything ~

As one shuts out all da "noise" and distractions from da outside world.......one realizes........dat there is soooooo much more to life, and everything dat is - than what meets our eyes and our ears..........Our universe is so subtle in form.....its sheer simplicity - is what makes it sooo difficult for us to understand........

We are here for a short time - a sojourn - and it has past.......Each moment we are here.....alive - every second.......every nanosecond.....every planck-time unit (da smallest amount of time possible) - is precious.......and we must realize - there is only "NOW" - what happened a second ago....is past - and what is about to come - is but a distant vision........Therefore, living "NOW" - is when we experience all...........

Da Absolute total nature of our universe remains an elusive mystery indeed - but one thing is certain........We have only "NOW" - to make things right.....and make things better than they can be........

So every day, cherish this life, cherish the "NOW" -- when u see a sunset......or a sunrise - or a bird in flight....view it as da most beautiful thing u've ever seen........treasure it w/ every part of ur being - as if it's da only time -

Cherish all of nature....all of existence....w/ everything in our heart and soul - and true kindness & compassion will naturally be born from it.......thus "Da greatest commandment of all" - for "The All" - everything....is love.....

Everything is "ONE" ~

~ Peace, Love, Joy ~
