Yesterday I had rich conversation with my friend Jeremy. We are two men in our 60s. Which is to say, we have many stories and many learnings between us. It’s quite sweet and needed to have such open and honest and reflective time together. To dwell. To linger.
Mark Nepo came to mind. Jeremy and I share a love of his book, The Exquisite Risk, published in 2006. I pulled out my copy. Skimmed for ear-marked pages and text scribbles — I am that guy, that writes in my books. I found this passage about the “sea of everything.”
“Being a mystic and a poet, I must confess my own bias.
I believe in the sea of everything over the sea of nothing.
I believe in connectedness and relatedness over isolation.
In essence, a mystic can be described, simply,
as anyone that believes that there is something larger than themselves.”
How beautiful, right.
And on we went in our conversation. In connection. In wander. In wonder. In music. In deliberate and thoughtful journey.
In the sea of everything.
Thx Jeremy.
the sea of everything is what I need to remember these days.. I love how uy highlight important ideas and amplify them
