“My Journey begins with my every breath”

In the discourse of one heart to another, the only frame of reference is heart itself.

Heart is an expression of the compassion which that heart’s Journey has brought into the realm of reality.

Heart belongs to all time, because heart has left behind the weight of pain and anguish out of which it gained its existence.

Heart exists as ever burning flames of truth and compassion in a place where safety is the only certainty.

At this place is where I am welcome, always.

From this place is where I begin my Journey, always.

And my Journey begins with my every breath.

The seed of my breathing is initiated from the centre of this place.

This place is safe because the breath of life keeps the flames brightly burning.

My Journey begins with my every breath.

I journey in and out of every breath.

I have nothing other than my breathing to satisfy my need to be thankful for the visions of you on my Journey.

I am whole because my breathing is circular.

And my Journey begins with my every breath.

You are the animate embodiment of the joys we share as we go.

Let us go, always.

At the risk of inflaming the competitive or the belligerent, I’m saying the highest achievement of thought is to arrive at a position from which we can say, “The only wisdom we can hope to acquire is the wisdom of Humility. Humility is endless.” (ts eliot)

This is an entirely satisfactory conclusion.

By this I mean it is one which satisfies my deepest need to identify with a balance between my Awareness as a sentient being and Sufficiency of purpose in mind and body.

I am talking also of the mystery of union, close or not, between two shining souls. I am speaking of the rapture between two people who share mutual and equal respect and reverence. Eye-to-eye uncomplicated rapture instills an urgent sense of impending fulfilment, when each allows the other in to share the most sacred personal space of the heart for a little time.

But the acquisition of the wisdom of humility concludes nothing at all!

It is one set of tools by which to travel and measure and reflect on my life among other lives in a swarm of beings, every one of whom is their own representative of the peace and love of which we are constituent parts, from which we come, and back to which we are all walking.

Pixels of humanity dancing each other home

A friend of mine was once part of the crew of one the two Greenpeace ocean going ships.

He and some friends were enjoying a quiet smoke on deck under the 360° calm stars.

They saw an Earth grazer – a large flame-trailing heavenly object falling across the black sky.

They all watched in silence as it neared the horizon.

Then they saw it!

Small and far, far away. Distinct, but utterly without sound. Illuminated by beyond-the-horizon Moonlight.

It was the huge feathery plume of water thrown up high by the force of the impact as the meteor ended its lonely journey of thousands of millions of years in the southern Atlantic.

Definitions of EveryNow – a word coined by Peter Pilley in February 2016

Life’s absurdly short

But the present moment is

infinite

° ~ ॐ ~ °

… I am granted this vision of life overflowing eternally at this very instant.

At such pressures and densities, because life clearly has a limited span, I feel each moment is as a lifetime.

And so time itself, my subjective grasp on time, can enter a fluid phase where all time is essentially sufficiently granted in my now.

My ‘now’ I call my EveryNow, in which future, past and present – by a small acceleration of focus – become the same.

… I am granted this precious vision of life overflowing eternally at this very instant.

This affords me no starry-eyed pause for thought. This galvanises me, and so I chose to shoulder a real responsibility.

If it’s all here, all now, I am called to action. It’s “Action stations!” time – all the time.

The urgency of being me being so alive is to find connections and connect.

Oh, close-couple mind and heart, and connect to other people, other ideas.

If it’s all happening now, it’s all to play for now. No slouching.

I am one of about seven billion. Glory Glory – we seek our natural home

🟥EveryNow or ‘EverNow’🟣

I sincerely hope the core structure, the roots of the word becomes currency for an area of meaning that avoids dualistic attitudes when applied to human experiences of time.

Wishing a person well on the specific fixed date of a birthday seems to me to ignore well-being on all the other days. It seems to me like a handshake or a backslap, here today, gone tomorrow.

🟨 I am my will to live 🟠

Who I am, the awareness which my sentience is a part of, begins from my feeling that I am breathing and my heart is beating, and that this is the sum total of my bodily expression making itself felt to me as a conscious being.

It is this combination of physical and conscious awareness which I find is all-consuming of the attention that I place on my self in daily activity. At the same time I find this is entirely sufficient.

If I am alive, it’s pointless to try to discover, uncover or reframe the fact, at any rate to myself.

There is no need to seek external reasons, arguments or justification for the fact that my heart beats and my consciousness is aware.

“I am that I am” could be a caption to an abstract pictorial depiction of the never-ending thermo-nuclear reaction which is life coursing throughout my being!

By simple extension, life courses through all beings. Counter-intuitively, this universal condition of fiery connection to the power of the life is more often than not taken for granted, sidelined as a given.

I write my blog “EveryNow” to raise awareness of the power of the will to live.

The will to live is that instant involuntary reaction by every one of us, from our earliest days alive, to any threat to our existence. It is our direct and sacrosanct connection to the eternal glorious prime source of being.

The mystery of the will to live I celebrate, with passion, gratitude, humility and with all the powers to express my love of life at my human disposal, including in my EveryNow.

I raise awareness of this self-sustaining self-protecting, self-affirming life force, because the instinct to maintain alive life is an inherited, permanent, universally present, direct and instantaneously available link to a multiplicity of ways to envision redemption and healing. It is also a way for humanity to grow into a collective maturity.
