Corridor: What’s Happening

There’s been a lot happening:
Grief mixed with comforting,
Insight infused with equanimity;
Like watching a movie,
The images flow so fast,
Time is meaningless;

Equanimity brings joy,
Leading to amazement at
The intensity of emotions,
Which nevertheless
Change so swiftly,
Seeming hard as concrete,
But disappearing abruptly,
And just as quickly replaced.

‘Where do they come from?’
I asked,
And I had no idea;
How is it that these
Seemingly solid feelings
Vanish so fast?

How incredible
That the processes
Of this body
Give rise to such intense
Sensations.

How is it that
This is so?
From whence does
This experience originate?

I know something of the physiology,
But this doesn’t mitigate
The wonder
Of the texture, the depth
Or the richness of this moment;
And, that each moment is equally infinite.
