A clear spell after the rain, and a Full Moon portal opening opportunities to walk to walk and muse on past, present and future scenes through the unique perspective of the only human being in my universe of discovering the Nature of Reality universally. Yes, dear reader, you guessed it: It's You! Who else has led your life? Lived in your head? Suffered your pain? And in the end, if there is such a thing in deeper reality where eternity's a word with a meaning you'll never understand conceptually, you have your chance to glimpse Liberation from the feeling of isolation and existential angst, and maybe rest in peace there, knowing essentially your egoic heroic suffering individual is constructed as a hologram and beyond that illusion there's no separation at all!
On the subject of non-duality, by the way, a teacher in the tradition of Ramana Maharshi, called Vivek, turned up next door at the holiday cottage for a few days and now stays at the Retreat House with his son, Finn, 18 months old, while he sorts out some practical issues arising, as they tend to do in the world of duality in which we find ourselves. Philosophic discourse ensues, of course!
Being Saturday again, a demonstration in Exhibition Park this afternoon sets the agenda for an old rebel to call over for a protest march, not to mention philosophical discourse on what Freedom means on Earth plane, where the Dark forces prepare for their inevitable demise as the Light shines heralding the arrival of the Age of Aquarius, the dawning of which is well known to old folks who saw freedom bursting out all over the place as the hippies took of their clothes and danced in the fields listening to Beatles and Stones, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and the rest in the Summer of Love. And Leonard Cohen of course, a mystic for sure and the soundtrack for all the years since and beyond. .. Hallelujah was the anthem covered by many singers, and Leonard's version is best not only because he wrote it ... as it happens he never took the credit for songs he knew came from elsewhere. Though the royalties were his and why not!
Tomorrow, the ritual Stand in the Park is postponed for the Father of the younger daughter's birthday celebration ... 32 next week and still beautiful and determined to exercise her unique gifts which currently includes baking the best cakes and pastries in the world, or Sunderland at least, where she's working and commuting daily from over the river Tyne in Newcastle, where she lives and where the protest takes place this afternoon. Daisy is full of fuel and keen for a run or two to see Newcastle again and this old blogger is looking forward to a short walk after breakfast, before setting off for a day out in the city where he once lived ... 30 odd years ago ....
