A World In Motion

July 18, 2014

Waking from my dream world into another dream world, I am greeted by the sun.  I lay motionless under the covers and listen to birds sing.  A cool summer air mass descends from Canada and pushes its way through my open window.  I lay comfortably in an endless moment of pleasure, breath deeply to freeze frame the moment, then watch the sun fill my bedroom with light.

 

The rising sun is a trick, a sleight of hand, an illusion.  The earth spins, like the particles from which it and I are made.  Our bodies, a galaxy of spinning particles inextricably woven by unseen forces, are in a constant state of motion.   We all spin.  We are always in motion.  Every moment of our conscious and unconscious existence is in motion and we are surrounded by motion.  I lay in bed in awe, motionless, and experience the quiet realization that I’m buzzing alive in a frenzy of subatomic activity as the earth rolls into a new day.  It’s time to move.  It’s time to live.  Good morning world.
