Another Sense


Have you discovered a state of enhanced awareness?

In Japanese, the word, 'yugen'  captures an essence of truths too deep for words. It may include sensations where mystery and ecstasy linger. Awareness races through the blood and elevates the mind's perceptions.

It involves delving into the middle of wonder as images reveal in layers.  A flash around a corner awakens the experience. Sensations or memory fragments may trigger linked discoveries.

A gleam of light dapples the room. It brings scents of tuberose and stargazer lilies on a breeze from the garden. The Sssush and spill of water burble from a fountain where birdsong lingers.  On the horizon a sailboat with spinnaker extended, slides above water.

A cricket's rubbed legs receive translation by moonlight.

Stay open to a 'yugen' sense of amazement.  Follow the imagery in writing.
