Thank πŸ™ ye, dear humble Forrest.

We are all connected as everything is…

.

All the things in nature are together in one place.

Each thing is moved by Nature’s pattern or Way.

Signals give direction. πŸ”„

The whole divides in to parts. 🧬

*

The parts move around and in and out of each other.

Like water flowing in rivers πŸ’¦ and oceans 🌊 and changing into vapor πŸ’¨ and snow ⛄️❄️and ice 🧊.

The WATER flows in and out of creatures 🐿️ and plants 🌱.

Every part is circulating, round and round. πŸ’«β˜„οΈπŸͺβ›ˆοΈπŸ¦ πŸ§¬πŸŒͺ️

Things unFold 🌱 then enFold πŸ‚ .

*

Everything in the UNIverse fits 🧩

because each part belongs

to the ONE whole cosmic song 🎻 and dance πŸ’ƒπŸ».

This is amazingly beautiful. Thank you.

I've been so confused lately about what I am (first I am the character, and then the witness. I am me, and then not me. I am the universe and then a person seeking the universe. I am Love itself and then I am the lack of it. I am God, and then a fragile human in search of God.) But I suppose this is all perfect and beautiful as well. A strange and unique experience.

I really like contemplating that "we are heaven".

I am such a humble guy, your questions are beautiful and I would like to have answers, but the answers are in you...since you are everything, and everything is in you, and you are all that, and nothing would exist without you... oops no, that is not the answer. I can only say I appreciate so so so so so so so much that you are here, with us πŸ™ God bless you Liana ✨

I will never be grateful enough for your presence in my life, Megan πŸ™

Maybe that’s why someone invented infinity…to be able to eternally presence the love that you are 🀍

"The universe is endowed with an unimaginable order. Everything is in its proper place. Infinitely small atoms and particles intertwine, interact, complement each other and create an immense mechanism that the human mind can never, even remotely, conceive."

Perhaps, Forrest, if we can practice this enough to where it comes naturally to our minds when we are faced with the inevitable barrage of trauma that comes and goes, I guess I just hope for a slight uptick in steadiness and equanimity in the face of the wind.

One of the coolest things about this poetic community is that we are all dancing around this idea of the all inclusive and holistic Universe. We recognize that it is no kind uncle, and that it manifests and creates via supernova. still, we find something in this idea and it never gets old.

Forrest Beway's avatar

Yes, dear Jed, this community has been dancing around this idea for many millennia already. The word 'cosmos' comes from Greek origin 'kosmos' and means 'good order,' as if the universe already embodied full harmony and balance. Pythagoras used the word 'kosmos' not only for the starry firmament but also for the entire physical worldβ€”which includes you and meβ€”all in good order and harmony.

Yet, when I see all the wars worldwide, attacks devastating hospitals, child soldiers, torture, sexual violence, or even my own anger shouting at an innocent person in a traffic jam, I wonder: where is the good order?

This is a question our minds cannot answerβ€”only our hearts, with a broader perspective, can begin to understand by realizing what we all truly are.

And I can't change the behaviors or beliefs of others. I can't even change the aggressive mood of my son in these past weeks!

But I can offer my heart and see things as they truly are, beyond my biases. It’s on me.

Oh dear friend! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones! And just in case you don't celebrate Christmas, allow me to celebrate who you are: a wonderful human being, a precious gift to this world we all share... among many other good things I am still unaware of!

Thank you for your beautiful presence, always. πŸ™
