I am getting more interested in the shimmering.
Today as I climbed into the copse I came almost immediately to the source of the stream. It issues out of the side of the hill, between three ferns and quickly gather momentum amongst the moss. It shimmered and, seeing it, I was still and shimmered too. Nothing else happened. I quite quickly developed a 'project desire' to build a stone surround for it, to celebrate and mark it in some way and to allow its water to be gathered. Then I let that go. as it became clear to me that this tendency to want to make something of it (in this case the spring), to intensify the experience (marking it with a monument), to register it as MY experience in some way, was completely not the point. The point was the shimmering and I could stretch that experience out by simply being in the shimmering, asking for nothing more. It was a bit of a revelation. Of course, writing this is already making something of it. But I have to have something in my project notebook... |
