That We Know

That we know:

it's a certain kind of knowing, a way of perceiving more than information gained - it's how we truly see the world. This is the intimacy of experience, that we know the sun by the warmth of rays and reach of light, and rain by the fall of its expression. It's this way with everything we really come to know. Our experience tells the only true story. 

yet only in the moment.

and always after it seems we tell another story, one filled with a different promise than what occurred. Our story may by true on facts reported, but it lacks the magic of our knowing, we've lost the intimacy of first experience. 

that we know, aware, and always have this moment to inform - this is a gift, unearned and delivered by the grace at hand. Every moment tells us something. Life is constantly knowing itself through our senses. We perceive the secrets of the world, not through objects, but our relationship with what's perceived. With this we see there is no line of separation, our experience is only and always with an aspect of ourselves. What we know is true for us alone. 

but only because in this sense, there are no others, just life in perception of itself through the lens of infinite eyes, of one listening source, and senses intimately shared. This only this knowing, only life. That we know - is simply because...

we are.
