Two worlds at once ...

Tiny Yellow Boats

Tiny yellow boats floating on calm water
vessels adrift on the sea of now
I cannot see this picture
in my world of edges and lines

Tiny feathers adrift on the air waves above me.
this image flows inside my vessels,
Inside my cells,
Each adrift in their own knowing
On their own path. 

Tiny yellow ships at sea
And I am all of them

Two worlds at once.  Right now I'm pondering how to be in this world holding both realities.  

Once the "other" world begins to open, I believe we live for some time in an odd space seeing either the ethereal OR the material.  

Staying too long in the ethereal/non-physical I loose my ability to be in the material world, to discuss material topics, to engage in simple life discussions such as what to eat or who to vote for.  I find myself looking upon life as if I'm viewing a T.V. show.  Safe, but not so useful when real life calls.  Like a monk's life.  Then on the other hand if I get caught up again in the 3rd dimension life, I find myself once again anxious, doubtful, and separate.  So it is the quandary (my quandary at the moment) to live in both.  To reconcile these opposite experiences, to hold the ultimate duality, both at once.  Inner peace with outer perception... the experience of unconditional love along with the physical warmth of holding someone's hand ... 

I don't have an answer for you about how to do this.  Except like with most of my journey, realizing what is the issue is always most of the solution.
