Memories

Past Journey

These images are not only the journey of a traveler moving toward light.
They are also the memory of one who now lives in the presence of knowing, looking back upon the first glimpse.
In that earlier moment, seeing appeared as joy because it arrived in contrast — light breaking through the known world.
The mind tried to grasp the whole truth from that one opening, to understand what had been seen.
But now the same knowing is no longer a flash against darkness. It is the ordinary atmosphere of being.
The joy of discovery has faded, not because the knowing is gone, but because there is no longer enough separation to create contrast.
What was once a glimpse has become the background.
What was once extraordinary is now simple presence.
