It is my contention that when our observations have reached a point of sufficient subtly, one may become aware of the manner in which awareness and the phenomena it illumines bring about experience. At the point when the purification of mind has taken hold of perception, awareness yields its sentience to a phenomenon in a gesture of overwhelming beauty and perhaps even ecstasy. This is the proper origin of poetic inspiration wherein one is truly capable of a relaxation into silence of mind realizing that all appearances are gifts to awareness and hence to us as accidental recipients. There is no greater gift than to be bowed with gratitude when fortune smiles on our experience of life's acts of the purity of our experiential depths.
The acts of sensing, if performed within a shroud of true appreciation and gratitude, will give rise to a kind of satisfaction that excludes desire thereby consecrating these acts with the fullness of sentience making it possible to perceive the acts of generosity that our human circumstances give rise to everyday. Initially, these acts will be conscious and perhaps even self-conscious, but repetition of them with and through the two virtuous minds that started this paragraph will yield all of the satisfaction that one life can contain--always in the here and now.
