Personally, I believe that consciousness is all-encompassing and permeates our very beings, making us one with the All. It is Light. It is all things that widen the chasm and sink us into deeper states of awareness and realization of the Truth. It is Love. It is remembrance of our True Nature, it is Is-ness and complete presence in the Now moment. It is that Permanence that remains in the background, while all else comes into existence and fades away. It is what we must wake up to gradually, in this life. To be conscious is to be Awake, Aware, and to live in Truth. Consciousness Is, and nothing else. 100131

How long will you hide
your beautiful
festive smile
Teach your laughter
to a flower
manifest an eternity
Why do you think
the door to the sky
is closed on your face
It allures and invites
your magical touch
to open and arrive
An entire caravan
is waiting in ecstasy
for your coming and leading
Come on my friend
use your talisman and
harness all their souls
Today is the day to unite
with your longing beloved
wait no more
for an unknown tomorrow
A tambourine is in a corner
begging your playing hands
a flute is sitting dormant
begging your happy lips
— Ode (Ghazal) 253

“The appearance of things change according to the emotions,
and thus we see magic and beauty in them,
while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.” - Kahlil Gibran
