It's here now!!!

What is spirituality? What is this movement towards some idea of greatness or the longing for an ultimate? I believe this question has many answers both right and not-so-right but one thread that holds the idea of spirituality together is the experience of bliss and wanting to keep bliss. Bliss is the catalyst for everything, the choices we make are in some way all related to wanting this basic, natural, and sometimes hidden quality of being. There is a pursuit in every individual based on certain circumstances to achieve their concept of total freedom, a utopia created within imagination. In the depth and subtlety of who we are is the medicine that gives us the strength to endure the chaos of our environment. Spirituality is an observance, a moment when reality can be experienced for the what it is. The source that everything is born from, the essence of all that is, beyond happiness and sadness, the stillness beneath the vibration of this universe. The surface of a lake will constantly be changing depending on the weather however its deepest region will always remain still. Our exterior world will change before us including the people in our lives, the things we own, our physical body grows old but the deepest realm of our reality remains unconditioned by this morphing environment we live within. Finding and staying at this depth is worth the practice and patience required to get there.
