Ever the writer’s dilemma…

And what a gift the writing becomes for the reader when we relay our experiences of presence to the “what is-ness” pf our lives… the red squirrel here being the object of your attention and portal to oneness with all that is//has been… so very Blake!

Delightful! https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43650/auguries-of-innocence

So very lovely! I identify so deeply with your evident sense of oneness with and wonder in the natural world…and with your grief over what’s been lost and what we’re losing still. Thanks for your beautiful sharing! Jill

Thanks Jill! I stutter and stumble to convey experience, and it's often only when I look back over my words and try to find a title that I grasp the essence of what I want to say. The title 'All at once' jumped out at me as an expression of the way the present contains the whole of the past. When we pay attention to the present as a 'relational event', it becomes a meeting point of countless stories. I'm so grateful to the little squirrel for showing me this!
