And yet we know it’s all just one continuous unfolding as one day or year slips seamlessly into the next. This marking of time is an illusion and has no more weight than what we give it. And each year I give it less and less. In reality, there’s just this present awareness of the here and now before it too dissolves into what we call the past and evolves into what call the future. But what we call the past and the future is just part of one continuous, seamless, whole.
As always, Deborah, I so enjoy reading your words. I love how deeply you think and how present you are to this moment right now. Here’s wishing you a healthy and happy new year!
Or maybe wistful thinking on my part? Yet if we accept the premise of Wholeness, the rest follows. I know what you mean though. It is a lot to get lost in. It's almost a matter of faith. As so much of life seems to call for.
Oh my: "This marking of time is an illusion and has no more weight than what we give it. And each year I give it less and less." I like that notion so much . If only I could adopt it.
I also have read that notion that makes existence into one ball of yarn that we are experiencing day by day. I LOVE the idea that the ball is all of us. We are the Whole.
LIfe is complex and confusing. I appreciate your pieces b/c you often can give me something to hang my hat on. Thank you so much. May 2024 offer more inspiration to all people (but especially to you!)

Thank you, Barbara. Wishing you the same!
Lots of simple and profound insights to wonder on; thank you.
“Nothing we cherish is lost. Nothing we aspire toward is unfulfilled.”
I think I get lost about here. Maybe thinking too much about what has been lost and what is yet unknown and missing the point?

Thank you, Gracie. That means a lot to me. Here's wishing you and all a constant and consistent unfolding of good in the coming year and beyond.
