Chapter 5

1: A great calm crept over the night in the midst of cricket song and the tune stays with me, still. 2: Behold, the evening stays with me, still. Like unto an object that a willful tree has grown around, encompassing it and making the thing its own. 3: Though the universe has seen the meetings of minds play out in every way possible I believe that it delights in each and every occurrence of such humanity. Perhaps the universe even swells with the birth of a new star each time minds reach out for each other and find a link. 4: The seeking, living Duality is cause for pause and I cannot see fault in the desire to name that thing which is Contentment, Joy and Affection but moreso. In the same way we seek to define God, we seek to define the ties and moments that reach inside our Beings and hold us. 5: To name is to acknowledge. To define is to understand. The aim is clarification and connection to an abstract. 6: I have no interpretation of this abstract. It is as if it lives and breathes and thirsts and hungers. Even so much as to have its own consciousness which it pulls us into. 7: It is Friend, Mentor, Student, Lover and at the same time it is none of these. We can choose to call it what we will and it will no doubt reveal its name when it chooses.
