Mystic

Mystic

Normally we all believe

it is us who experience life,

and we each build

well lived lives

by accumulating scores

of memorable moments.

So, when you experience life

in some special way, you say,

“For me, it's been

a memorable moment.”

But every once in great awhile,

you have an experience

where it seems that Nature herself

takes time out of her busy, busy day

to pay attention just to you.

When life experiences you in this way

it becomes something mystical.

When comes the day you realize

Nature is always

experiencing you in this way

just as you are experiencing her.

When comes the day

you find that both you and the world

are forever as young lovers,

meeting in a vast, vast sea

of happenstance and coincidence,

falling in love just now,

discovering each other,

over and over again, every day,

then you're a mystic.
