Ephemeral Ecstasies Out of Which We Have Being

Ephemeral Ecstasies out of Which We Have Being is a collection of atmospheric poems using natural scenes, primarily those of air and water, to reflect upon the nature of existence, drawing parallels between these scenes and inner states of consciousness. The fluctuating motions of water and skyscapes show impermanence amidst a permanent fluidity of constant change. We will never gaze at the same scene twice, as every moment appears unique, indescribably alive with its own fundamental dynamics, which we then interpret in our own individual ways. In studying nature, we learn about our own subsistence, and how we interact with the hologram of creation. Nature affects our beingness, just as our beingness affects nature. We are part of the constant whole. Seen in this way, everything is a reflection of everything else, and can be used to glean meaning, or extract hidden magics to enrich our understandings of ourselves and the universe in an effort to evolve consciousness and achieve higher states of awareness.
These interior poems live inside the mind, but are also part of the world, inhabiting both in a state of unification where the boundaries between the two dissolve, and only consciousness remains.
Alchemical and quietly transcendent, this collection delves the inner realms through exterior landscapes witnessed and experienced. Its emphasis, as the title states, is one of realization, where we recognize that our eternal beingness is shaped by impermanence, which has given us diverse experiences that comprise and inform our totality. The meaning in our lives has come from these unique, ever-changing, unrepeatable moments.
