Behind It

Behind it

9/25/09

You can say 'underneath',

however we truly realize

world beyond the 'veil',

call it 'true reality',

even with invisible nature

that takes trained eyes,

heart, head, plus spirit,

to filter out cacophony

of life's nervous energy

so associated with living

which obstructs calm perception

the subtle essence vibrations

prevalent when in wilderness,

Mother Earth's raw beauty,

whether in magical forest,

paddling on mountain lake,

swimming in the same,

or just imbibing magnificence

like Mt. Shasta's grandeur,

her majestic inspiring vistas

easily seen and photographed,

yet offering feeling experience

for those willing participants

who allow quiet moments,

stop the mental chatter,

listen for deeper transmission,

behind it, in it.
