Awakening into the NOW with William Blake

a snow burdened branch behind my house
CC Jean Stimmell: 11/29/14

I had a vision while meditating today

of wearing a protective head net,

like arctic explorers wear sunglasses,

not to protect from snow blindness

but from the searing immediacy

of being in the present moment.

If only we could awake to the NOW

we would see the sun burn 

 through the  snowy branch
in real time as Blake foresaw:

“everything would appear 
to man as it is, Infinite.”
