Beyond the Veil

A subtle vapor rose almost imperceptibly down the center of the river. Here, where the current carried the coldest water, the river’s slow steady breath began yielding its spirit to the air above. Like a serpent summoned from deep sleep, it began to emerge upstream and down; rising, settling, oscillating with the smallest breeze, a phantom materializing in another dimension. I sat sheltered under a hemlock patiently watching this being of mist ascend while light rain damped the forest around me. Each random drop from heaven was awakening the soul and life force of the river. As evening began yielding to night the realm before me became saturated by the silent humid air. Twenty minutes passed and my mind settled into unity with the mystical creature before me. She continued to grow, absorbing, entwining the river and forest. With her frail and delicate nature she wrapped herself around me, filled my lungs, evoked a sense of transcendence within my heart. This angel of mist, my mind’s escort, was reminding me once again of the universal embrace of Spirit, the Oneness I am with Creator, that you are with me. This embrace of love, this irresistible unity is the Ground of Being and knows no distance, no separation. It fills the universe as the spirit of this river, now without reserve, filled the forest. From a distant place the voice of thunder from an approaching storm reached my ears. I rose to my feet in full consciousness now; seeing, hearing, breathing without distraction. Through the twilight and mist I stepped over wet leaves and made my way home, alive with the privilege of having glimpsed beyond the veil.
