and what we call non-doing, and then tune in to your
breathing.
All of Walden Pond is within your breath. The miracle
of the changing seasons is within the breath; your
parents and your children are within the breath; your
body and your mind are within the breath. The breath
is the current connecting body and mind, connecting
us with our parents and our children, connecting our
body with the outer world's body. It is the current of
life. There are nothing but golden fish in this stream.
All we need to see them clearly is the lens of
awareness.
Time is but the stream I go fishing in. I drink at it;
but while I drink, I see the sandy bottom
and detect how shallow it is.
Its thin current slides away,
but eternity remains.
I would drink deeper;
fish in the sky,
whose bottom is pebbly with stars.
(Thoreau, Walden)
In eternity there is indeed something true and
sublime.
