Great talk! Reminds me of my literary Yogis. Neat concepts about keeping love real and hitting the pause button.
Emerson: "I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or parcel of God."
Dillard:
" Unfortunately, nature is very much a now-you-see-it, now-you-don’t affair. A fish flashes, then dissolves in the water before my eyes like so much salt. Deer apparently ascend bodily into heaven; the brightest oriole fades into leaves.”
Whitman:
"There was never any more inception than there is now,
Nor any more youth or age than there is now,"
Thoreau: "Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains."
