Sacred Mist

Mark Tobey

The one great eternal presence in our life is Mother Earth. The consequence of her presence & the field of our interaction with her is gravity, the force that binds us to her. Opening up & allowing her into every part of us (yielding to her - not resisting) opens us to the other side of the fact of her being - the opposite force to gravity which is an ethereal lightness which rises from her primal recesses - the sacred mist:

A mist ascends, clears the air,
and obliterates all landmarks.

Yielding is generative. It summons whatever is necessary to complete the picture. All great things are done by the force of opposites. It begets the opposing force through its action: attack naturally springs from yield. The yielding mind naturally opens to all aspects of reality.

Love is metaphysical gravity.
