Occasionally we turn a corner in our life-journey and see something that takes our breath away. We have entered the magic dimension of "stillness by surprise!"
Fortunately the mind can be surprised into a state of alert consciousness without thoughts. This experience is more precious than diamonds or gold. The flash of wonder, awe and joy that we are swept into is the flame that fuels the great works of art, music and literature.
Stunning beauty is a portal to a realm that is beyond the mind—it is a threshold to the soul. |
