What are you waiting for?

When we surrender our active, analytical minds and allow ourselves to take in all that is around us, seen and unseen -- we no longer control the electricity that is in the air around us, we are giving the unseen around us and within us the freedom that we normally take for our own controlling purposes, or simply take for granted. Our surrondings take on a new life, weavings magic and mystery, these things unseen and unknown yet still there -- and perhaps even more influential than things we can see and understand.

So often we are taught to control and define, but what if we were to let our surroundings define and present their magical world to us?

"We sometimes catch a window
A glimpse of what's beyond;
Was it just imagination
Stringing us along?
More things than I've dreamed about,
Unseen and unexplained
We suspend our disbelief
And we are entertained" -- Neil Peart "Mystic Rhythms"

Their have been a few moments when I've been under the sway of hallucinogens, and felt the transformational energies take hold of my conscious mind and send it to new and unexpected places. Having only indulged on a few occassions, they still seem mysterious to me. Things around appear different, sound different, feel different -- all the senses are formed into a new whole, or a new seperation of what was once whole.

Their are times also when a friendship or a mutual understanding between people can give flight to our imaginations; moments of harmony and a sharing of souls. These moments can perhaps be even more intense than moments under the spell of hallucinogens or mind altering substances, for so many variables exist in the realm of human interaction. Societal and self-imposed boundaries exist, yet when these boundaries and walls are allowed to crumble as sand beneath our feet, then a true insight and understanding can take place.

"From the moment I reached out to hold, I felt a sound,
And what touches our soul slowly moves as touch rebounds.
And to know that tempo will continue
Lost in trance of dances; as rhythm takes another turn.
As is my want, I only reach to look in your eyes." --- Jon Anderson "Relayer"

Chance encounters and new revelations brought to light between people can spark the fires of imagination, and our minds can take in experiences that have only been dreamed of; or experiences that have been felt before can be made fresh and new once more. We give of ourselves thereby allowing others to give of themselves, and the breath of life and creativity is shared.

And perhaps the unseen forces around us are delighted to witness the spectacle taking place, and give of themselves more freely as well.
