Most of the time we are too consumed by our thoughts and activities to experience the consciousness in which they are contained. Through the conscious effort of meditation or the power of natural beauty to draw us out of our mind-world, we may find ourselves simply letting go of all that concerns us. For a moment we desire only to merge into a moment of flowing beauty in the here and now.
It is these moments that can accumulate and gradually transform our lives into an ongoing communion with Joy. But, these moments are like beautiful ripe berries, and our basket will only become full if we continue to pick the berries and put them in the basket—one by one.
