Journeying into awareness

Starting with a moment of awareness when the layers uncovered, I'll add to this thread as I walk the labyrinth.

Layers of awareness.
This morning, I am in joyful awareness of oneness
I am in joyful awareness of the layers and dimensions of oneness as I live a human life on earth, surrounded by sentient and insentient beings on earth that's surrounded by the solar system and the universe
..of the homeostasis that continues to attract and handle imbalance in physical bodies
…of the cyclical wars and struggles between white blood cells, viruses, germs, humans and animals, countries, groups, families,  neighbors, responding to threats perceived and real
…of the growth of connections through friendship, disease, wars, adventure and love
…of the healing power of the universe that attracts calls for healing, and light, and journeying, and harmony and peace as it draws all together in wholeness
….of the big bang of the universe that is echoed in variegating emotions, unfurling ferns, blossoming flowers in gardens and  sentient beings
..of the contractions and decays and return to source of every fractal of the universe
…of laughter, wailing, shouting in rage and ecstasy, calling out, singing, speaking, whispering that all comes together in the divine symphony of the universal hum
..of the sounds of birds, animals, a ticking clock, a computer program, a car passing by
…of writing a blog and distractions that weave into it and my husband doing pranayama and the morning cool
..of the fragrance in incense, the stench in rotting garbage, the uncertain smell of unfamiliar cooking, the heady scent of perfume
…of the memory of Whiskers who played with my feet as I walked around the garden this morning, the touch of keyboard, air, fabric, a daughter's hug, a son's embrace, a husband's kiss
…of the banyan goddess whom I invoked to bring healing to the tree that is getting covered in fungus that will need to find another home than the surrounding fruit trees in my garden
…of the things I remember and forget to do
..of the teachings of masters and those who didn't know they were teaching
…of the laughter of all those who walked the earth in joyful awareness
..of shooting stars and setting moon, rising sun and shirring disks
…of much else that is unwritten, and much else that is indescribable
