Canoe in the clouds, Tucker Pond, Warner, NH, July 2008, Nikon D40 with 18-200mm VR lens, Focal length 40mm, Exposure 1/200 sec @ f7.1, ISO 200, exposure bias -1 stop, no flash, circular polarizing filter © Steven Crisp [Click on the photo to enlarge]Woah. I'm a little disoriented. The canoe is floating on the clouds. For a minute, my mind lost it's grip on "reality" -- the way we think the world works.
But that momentary loss is a healthy interruption to our internal navigation system. Sometimes, it is essential to be lost.
"When you lose yourself, you find the Beloved. There is no other secret. I don't know any more than this."God is everywhere and everything. We are God. There is nothing but the oneness of God. It is only our sense of being a separate ego that obscures the omnipresent Truth.
-- Ansari of Herat (1006-1089 C.E.: An Early Sufi Master)
