That upon which attention is focused becomes the focus of attention. The more focused the attention, the greater the quality of the experience. The more quality, the more awareness. The more awareness, the more elegance. The more awareness, the more simplicity.
Sublime life energy turns into experience. Richness follows, then poverty, then richness again. The corpse becomes living, and then dies again, only to revive and live. All focused, elegant, simple, happening.
A dancer doing a pirouette. A skater lifting another on ice. Boxers dodging, weaving. A director’s eye for the light. The teacher honing his craft. A doctor checking for disease. Fishermen, fishing. Elegance. Simplicity. Focus. Awareness.
Waiting for the buck to clear the brush. Breathing lover’s tender breath. Coaxing off a rusted bolt. Crying in the hopeless night. Intensity. Focus. Simplicity. Totality.
In timeless moments of depth and brevity, self is lost in experiencing the moment. Torture. Pain. Heartbreak. Terror. Amazement. Astonishment. Revelation. Complete and simple. Full. Elegant and total.
Wind bristling leaves. Waves lapping rocks. Painters painting paintings. Sacred geometry. Elegance. Simplicity.
The stuff of life: total moments, complete experiences, full happenings, perfect executions. Elegant simplicity.
