Spirit Eyes

What is watching through spirit eyes? If spirit is alive in all of us, does it not look out from our own eyes, hear from our own ears, feel through our own body.

What if the infinite is peeking through your senses, right now, what do you offer it of this world?

Here is a beautiful writing by Rilke, translated by Gary Miranda, that speaks to this. Rilke uses that language of angel, for me I connect this to the all encompassing spirit that moves through all things. The quantum field. The mystery.

“Praise, but tell the angel about the world,

Not the indescribable. You can’t impress him

With your lofty feelings; in the universe

Where he feels with far greater feeling, you’re 

just a beginner. So show him some simple thing...
and these things, that live only in passing,
they understand that you praise them.”

As you move through your day, imagine your attention is a gift feeding something back to the wide collective field of energy we are all connected to. Does this change what you notice? Does this alter/altar what the senses consume?

I step into the soft light, not quite sunlight, but a glowing warmth. This, I say, is a flower, this a dog, this is a body meeting a body...
