Eyes Wide Shut

Beauty exists when our eyes are wide shut, and we are no longer wandering. There is a silence, a stillness and peace that overcomes the body. My eyes are shut and happy that way. A tingling sensation overcomes my forehead and strengthens until it consumes the whole head. It is a feeling I have just become familiar with- true relaxation. And then it becomes something more than a calm embrace. It is spirituality. It is depth of my being, an intense wave of emotion and ocean running down my spine. As the waves calmly rotate along my being, I am reminded of life. Life doesn’t need to be so hard, so painful, so rushed, so without spirit. This is really living and yet nothing moves, but the inhalation of my lungs. This inhalation breaths back spirit to the depths of my soul. And once again I am alive.
