Trigger Warning - Random Thoughts - Take 'Em Or Leave 'Em
God is in the details? So said Albert Einstein, a sly way of not having to explain things. I get it…if…if you believe in God, but suppose, just suppose, you don’t believe in God? In the current vernacular: you simply don’t go there. Your call, of course - I’m not sayin’ - however, that doesn’t mean there are no details. The details are there regardless. Believe. Don’t believe. So what? Doesn’t change a thing.
Now
What about those details?
Most flowers have up to five stamens. That’s their male fertility organ. Slender and graceful. It trembles. Buttercups have between thirty and seventy. Anemones of the meadows. That doesn’t seem to be a problem for them. Focus on one stamen, focus on every stamen and time goes away, grief goes away, pain fades to black, comfort calls, a down pillow, a distant tingle, stamens, look, their curls, their furls, the colors of dreams, pleasure remains, simple, soft, unguarded, open. Time flies. Where does it go? What replaces time when suddenly it’s no longer there? Nothing. It’s in that instant we realize eternity. It’s where we are. It’s where we’ve always been, where we’ll always be. But, it’s in that instant that we actually know it - where we are - know it - and it will stay that way and we will stay that way because it just is, and we are in it. Forever. Or for what “forever” really is. And, anyway, who’s going to define it?
