The meadow can be one thing and many things all in this moment.
Across its undulating surface are many subtle qualities of being.
Into each of these niches the individual finds its place, yet each of these forms fundamentally remain part of the greater meadow.
Which in turn is part of an even greater and infinite whole.
Thus, form can flourish, creating diversity.
Here in the lee of the hawthorn, wild carrots bloom in their thousands and the heads of fine Victorian lace nod gently in the wind.
Yet just to the right lies a swathe of golden marigolds, a glorious juxtaposition of colour, shape and essence.
Here in the meadow, they all abide, perfect in their differences and united in their oneness.
What freedom there is in being somebody and everything at the same time.
