Oneness

Work started a little later than usual on Friday and I decided to head downtown to run some errands. Meditation that morning was quite awe-striking. I mentioned in previous posts the brilliant balls of light that appear frequently. On this particular sit the light remained without disappearing as usual. The dazzling ball of light appeared as usual, though this time it visited me for awhile, rather than the common appearing and disappearing acts it seemed to favor. It sat directly in the space between my brows and seemed to have an aura of blue around the white. As I observed this brilliant light which gleamed before me, I became absorbed in the oneness I felt with this beautiful sight. I sat for just over an hour, emerged completely. Slowly opening my eyes, then positioning my hands in prayer, I ended my sit. Traveling on the streetcar joy flooded over me. I gazed out the window, taking in the beauty of the snow covered branches of the trees which lined the snow covered streets. Suddenly I began to feel as though I was the largest thing in my surroundings, as if my very be-ing stretched across miles. Ahead of me, way of ahead of me, I could see the CN Tower yet I felt as though I could reach out my hand and touch the top of it. I began to feel a connectedness with everything around me as though all were an extension of myself; the buildings, the trees, the sky, the people passing by. Never having experienced the deepness of this connectedness so profoundly, the wonderment so staggering I began to feel tears stream down my cheeks. What a magnificent moment.
