Once We Realize

"the nature of our existence is beyond thought and emotions"?

I'm having to sit with this.  I've not considered 

"the nature of my existence" from this angle, or any angle, really. 

Upon reflection, I rather like the idea. 

Being more than my thoughts and emotions appeals to me

because they can be quite troublesome and reductive.

"that it is incredibly vast and interconnected

with all other beings"?

Ok, yes, this sounds lovely up to a point...

however, there are definitely some "beings" I am not

in the least interested in being "interconnected" with.

I believe that's my thoughts and emotions...my small-self talking?

I'd like to think I possess some unseen and unknown pieces

that live on into infinity in ways I cannot begin to understand.

I accept the fact there is way more to existence than what I can contemplate.

I accept the fact that I don't have all the answers.

It's reassuring to consider powers beyond my comprehension

transmuting rotten things into goodness somewhere in this universe.

And to be a part of it in some infinitesimal way.

Something worth considering with deep, deep gratitude

on this Thanksgiving day, 2025.
