[Thespiritexpress] This morning of Highs and in-betweens ~~~ Poem titled Apogee ~~~~~

[rnadeau]

The poem below by Carl Sonnen reminds me of high points in my life ~ 

but there is more to it than that ~ thinking about high points in my life, I notice I hang there, suspended 

like what happens the moment after the sun goes below the horizon and I am still peering into the glow 

 in a suspended moment between thoughts…

and then

a transition into the unknown opportunity to experience something new, perhaps much different… 

and then

what appears may be curiosity or the next seductive thought enticing me to notice or think something new…

when I am awake I notice these moments throughout the day ~ transition moment as subtle as the 

gap between each and every breath ~ life creating and recreating...

Apogee

The inevitable weightlessness 

that occurs at a point

where there is no more 

upward progress.

 
And yet the downward journey 

has yet to begin.

The inflection between up 

and down.

 
The resolution of inertia 

and gravity

held in equilibrium

theoretically lasting 

no time at all.

 
No right

No wrong

No good

No bad

No yours

No mine

No is

No was

 
The absolute beauty 

of nothingness

never more or less there.

 
And yet it happens every cycle of breath

every heartbeat

every moment before 

a thought occurs

where there lies a chance 

to behold the exquisite pause

of nothingness 

where choice exists.

 
A chance to alter the equation

before something 

besides love 

happens

or doesn’t.



	- Carl Sonnen
