Have you sprawled out in the embrace of the sun to ponder the big blue realm today?
If you've got clear skies, I want to invite you to go lay down in the grass for a few minutes and just look at the sky.
Such a brilliant, colossal symbol of ultimate tranquility.
The feeling of doing so is the only feeling that I feel is necessary to be blissful throughout life.
Witness it for yourself.

What a nice thought.
About 15 mins after reading this I was off to family trip for
a picnic in the park...featuring the Memphis Symphony Orchestra.....
It was a beautiful evening!
We were laying on two picnic blankets...sharing a veggie and
wing tray.....sitting back....then laying back....
I thought of this blog post I had just read....and grabbed the camera.
What a clear view I had .....
Gratitude for the teaching I received......
This is the moon....about 6 pm in the evening.....pretty blue sky...
Though it is night time where I am right now, I feel a great freeing sensation gazing at a frame of what you've witnessed. It helps me achieve same the feeling without the assistance of the sun.
Thank you for sharing your experience with me.
I do frequently lay out on the grass, under the sun, or under the stars and just look out. Amazing thing to do. Especially for me the other night looking out and realizing that Voyager had left the solar system, and it took 35 years to happen! That's just incredible to think about.
I love people who take the time to look up..and not too many people do. I would think it would be really hard not to be calm and thoughtful after looking at the sky for a while... (Although ill admit that I sometimes feel a bit of longing for lost love looking at the sky. )
However I did use a 'led' meditation app.
It took me to the Orion star system (the home of humanity apparantly) via the pyramids of Cheops . . . 'you are floating up into the sky' etc . . .
Luckily I returned to earth and deleted the app before I was instructed by 'little green men' on the 'master plan' . . .
Sometimes 'free' and 'meditation' is not so clear . . .
Glad you guys are doing better
Funny thing is...the concert is at sunset..promoted that way
too........so there was a pretty purple
and pink thing going on...everyone was looking at the sun side
we were even playing frisbee when the sun was cut half by the
little green hill we were near....the
small children around me just seemed fascinated that the moon was
also out and how they both could be there....hahah...it made me turn around
and look at it, and experience something RIGHT as it presented itself.
hard to explain.....the moon at sunset...hahaha
without the moon....no sun
which is the delusional mind
When you are patient, allowing things to cease, then you begin to know cessation -- silence, emptiness, clarity -- the mind clears, stillness. The mind is still vibrant, it's not oblivious, repressed or asleep, and you can hear the silence of the mind.
To allow cessation means that we have to be very kind, very gentle and patient, humble, not taking sides with anything, the good, the bad, the pleasure, or the pain. Gentle recognition allows things to change according to their nature, without interfering. So then we learn to turn away from seeking absorption into the objects of the senses. We find our peace in the emptiness of the mind, in its clarity, in its silence.
