Karoo Sky

The vastness of the sky keeps me awake.

The quietness is humming in my head.

I breathe crisp cold air into my warm body.

The coolness shapes my arms, hands and head.

I breathe out aliveness.

Inside is outside and outside is inside.

My eyes see the stars into the endless universe.

Billions of years deep, in just a second of observation.

My eyes are God's eyes and God's eyes are my eyes.

My breath is God's breath and God's breath is my breath, now and in eternity.

Distance becomes closeness when my body is God's body.

The sky is inside of me as the cool gives me form.

This place, the Karoo, slows me down.

Humming vibration turns into slow rolling waves of observation, 

creation and dissolving into vastness, 

contracting into form with every in breath and pulsating with my beating heart.

All sensations are like a big piece of music played by the orchestra of awareness. 

Sounds of silence.
