The Letters of Appreciation
Back when I was a kid I didn't know why a person wanted to live if they didn't like to hunt and fish
–In other words do the things I like to do.
Then as I grew older, I understood differently.
Now I am much older and understand differently
I love life
I love it enough to die for it---
---I remember as a very small child, before I learned to hunt and fish and do things, how I was caught up in the experience of this reality –I remember how mysterious and magical it was.
To see the things I saw and hear the things I heard, -- to feel and be a part of the reality that surrounds me.
How it could not be but was -- Just the miracle of life –I was in awe of everything that surrounds me
– It was a sublime experience past expressing in words.
Then I became trained into the consumerism idea of existence and begin to loose the feeling that the child and kid had.
The things we humans use, -the technicalities of life.
I was sent to school to learn reading, writing, and arithmetic
—I learned all these things and negated the spirituality I experienced as a child.
I was infected with the psychology of having.
Today our technicalities have created a hostile environment for us to live in.
User friendly In some way's and not in others
They sidetracked me from continuing to experience the spirituality the child perceived.
I love life
I cannot image anything being any better or any greater than the reality that's been created for us.
---(Not necessarily the one we created). ---
Just think, - if you had the awareness you have now, but had never experiences this reality, if it had been totally foreign to you and you were dropped into it, -- just think how it would be to you.
You would be as awe struck and in shock as any other encounter, you might have had that you call greater than this reality.
A near death, out of body or very lucid dream experience
Now I return to being a child again
Now, because I am doing what I am supposed to be doing and not what this realty we have created dictates
I am regaining that loss
I love life
Not for anything except of itself—
I am content with just experiencing it
To once again realize what my eyes see and ears hear
To experience all the sensations of my senses
To feel the environment that surrounds me
I do not have to do anything to appreciate the experience
I do not have to be creative or produce anything to appreciate life
Just observing it is enough -- just to be
The experience of life, is the joy I receive in living.
