Blog of the Grateful Bear

ramblings of a freelance panentheist {"all things are in God, and God is in all things"} . . . musings on Emergent spirituality, powerlifting, LGBTQueer issues, contemplative prayer, mysticism, cats, music, healing, and more. I like my coffee and my existentialism dark-roasted.

Interesting that both poetry and beauty are a living immediate experience.

Yes, and that each presents a different face to every participant.

No two will see the same thing as beautiful, nor gain the same insight from the poets words.

How true of our experience of reality itself.

We co-create its meaning through our inter-dependent experience.
