There is a communication without words or thinking which seems to be a kind of reaching out.
When I arrest my unfocused gaze past the horizon as it were and my beautiful trees, squirrels and pigeons seem to be there in my quiet mind in another way, it is a if we are one in the stillness and we share that quiet and rest, yes, even in activity, their awareness is awareness plain and simple and in that moment as is mine.
There comes a sense in this awareness that all arises in the Universe and its dimensions as if we are all in comunicado as distinct from incomunicado. There feels to be a comradeship that is not human but shared by all the Universe and its Creation, be it plant animals and all of nature to planets, comets and such like, yes even cosmic dust. It is Ohana (Hawaiian for family, nobody gets left behind or forgotten) and it has a deeper meaning to include the heartfelt sentiment of deep family bonds including neighbourly bonds. This family is not related only that it shares awareness a kind of feeling of sameness and so is not related as such but a oneness and equality. There is no sense of separation or superiority, it is the recognition the we, in fact there is no we or us, they, them, just a sense of this seamless unity and somehow 'we' feel this without words.
It is only when the mind is still, not weary, tired or exhausted but dynamically quietly aware that this cohesion is felt and it is gratifying and uplifting to feel this experience as beyond the so called norm. I cannot explain or describe the awareness or the cognition of it, it is a stand alone and unique unto itself and I feel it is my essence and that is everybody's and everything's heritage and birthright beneath the form in which is enshrouded.
