A glorious Sunset & a lovely Night.
Reading multiple authors simultaneously is fantastic, because it reveals mutual underpinnings in great philosophy.
Wherever I go, I observe action & behaviour in the Woods (unique properties [though always following general laws of Nature] & the interaction between Animals). I cannot help but contrast my local observances with Universal laws.
Everywhere, the power of the intellect to sift layers of observable information, is in full bloom.
Everywhere, the power of turning OFF the intellect in order to merely BE, is a sweet companion.
To properly enjoy & learn from Nature, one must embrace all facets of Being.
If She is only half-known, then she is Isis of old; hidden behind a veil - obscured by our own ignorance.
Known in full, She is a pleasant companion in the Morning, & gentle mistress at Night, & always a House of plenty to those who seek Her.

Gladly would I unfold in calm degrees a natural history of the intellect, but what man has yet been able to
mark the steps and boundaries of that transparent essence? The first questions are always to be asked, and the wisest doctor is gravelled by the inquisitiveness of a child. How can we speak of the action of the mind under any divisions, as of its knowledge, of its ethics, of its works, and so forth, since it melts will into perception, knowledge into act? Each becomes the other. Itself alone is. Its vision is not like the vision of the eye, but is union with the things known. - Emerson
Please stop trying to understand Being. You have already had significant glimpses of Being, but the mind will always try to squeeze it into a little box & then put a label on it. It cannot be done. It cannot become an object of knowledge. In Being, subject & object merge into one. - Eckhart Tolle
