Everyday I open my eyes, and awake from my sleep. Who knows where I’ve been? All I know that, as I open my eyes and start to feel my body with each stretch across my bed, I have slipped into my skin. I have now become my body.

Thoughts  start to float through my mind. I start to think about the day. Sometimes, thoughts of yesterday come back. Sometimes, I am already preoccupied by thoughts of tomorrow. Moment by moment, I hop between being in the here and now and being somewhere else. It’s like a game of hop scotch.

Through my day, I recognize others. I start to walk through my movie called Jamie’s Life. There are beautiful, amazing, and magical things to observe. The magic of the day unfolds as the sun rises. I have sensations of the sand beneath my feet as I dive into the ocean for my morning swim. The sun hits my face bringing me warmth as I walk to and from the places I will go on this day.

I observe the life of others. I observe my thoughts, my judgments, my beliefs about others and myself. My heart opens and closes. I enjoy the hugs, the embraces, the tender kisses. I embrace the lessons, the pain, the truthful slaps.

My mind gets noisy and then finds space again. Not a whisper is heard.

The tastes, smells, sounds, and touches are nothing short of sensory overload. There is so much to experience, moment by moment.

Then comes that time again, to lay my head down, close my eyes to this day, and slip away. Where I go there are no five human senses, just one big sense of energy. One energy, so expansive, limitless, infinite!

When I wake, will I then become small again? Or, will I remember that who I truly am is bigger than anything my movie could play out, my mind could think about, or even this body could embrace. Will I remember that, just as I know in my dreams, there is only me in and through all things. In this life it is the same: no separation, just me as that big energy moving through all things.
