Day 49d: The Here on the Horizon … (06/02/2019)

The mind swells out to fill the entire landscape, becoming so diffuse in the process that one loses the ability to keep it fastened to the physical body. In the movement of the sun and the clouds across the sky, one deeply perceives something one hardly knows how to name; a huge, all-encompassing Oneness; a vast and cosmic Love.” ~ inspired by Haruki Murakami
