Presence, time & space

Standing out in the National Park, it feels pre-historic, like before time was quantified, portioned out into categories of days, weeks, past, future. Time feels fluid, if you can call it time at all. It’s more like a presencing within which qualities interact and change. Walking out onto the edge of a bluff, I see the bison across the way and feel the immediacy of our relationship. Even though it would take about forty-five minutes to walk to where they are, the quantified distance doesn’t separate us. The intimacy, the being present to Beingness, lends to the effect of no space, of us being in immediate relational proximity. As the bison take in my presence, and I theirs, they get up from their sitting and sunning and begin to move across the sun-drenched hill. My appearance seems to cause the shift. It impresses on me what an effect we have on one another, often without any awareness of it whatsoever. And how in presence, the interconnection becomes apparent, the lack of a true separateness is felt, even when notions of divisions such as self, time, space may make it seem otherwise.
