I begin immediately here 
with the sensation moving through my body 
in such a way that it is present 
throughout all of me. 

A vibration that fills my whole being 
that is, at the same time, 
both extraordinarily active and completely still

as though I had formed a relationship here 
with every molecule in the body 
with every atom that builds it 
and every electron that animates it 

Already here I have penetrated 
to the root of the being of sensation, 
which connects to life 
and connects to the soul in ways that are unknown 
and hide well beyond the veil of the intellect. 

Yet they emerge here as perceived things 
in the intelligence of sensation, 
and the whole body is filled with light 
that is finer than what the eyes can see. 

And I am bathed in this light inwardly 
and illuminated by it 

so that I do remember 
the way in which the body is bound to the planet, 
bound by the gravity that holds it here, 

so that the foundation upon which the soul stands 
is firm and collected by the magnetism of its activity 

in such a way that I attract forces 
that come here to this planet 
from the level of the Sun. 

And these forces gather themselves here in me. 

I become more concentrated, 
more aware, 
even more alive. 

And I enter the action of breathing 
with a new intimation of its sacred nature, 
bringing substances so fine that I usually do not notice them 
into the body in very small amounts, 
so that these extraordinary and useful substances 
can be deposited in the tissues of my being body

in places that cannot be seen or thought of 
but that can only be sensed and felt. 

And these very ephemeral substances, 
rich and concentrated, 
are like water that has been changed into wine 
by the simple act of attention. 

And as they flow into me, 
I sense their very sacred nature. 

I allow them to find the places within being that have the need of them, 
transparently and without interference. 

And for just a moment here as I breathe in, 
I remember that I am a creature of the planet, 
the sun, 

of this galaxy, 
a creature of this cosmos, 
breathing, sensing, feeling.
