What is Qui?

In the photo above, two drops of dew merge with a coppery piece of dying grass beneath a spider web. This is a lovely example of the essence of qui.  A moment of mingling presence.

Qui is the language of the in-between:  Soul-speak.  It is the thread that connects us soul to soul, the bridge where synchronicity winks and miracles jar open our hearts. It is the emptiness where knowings rest and joy scatters in the hunkered silence of morning dew.  

To find it, fall into the empty space between words and thoughts. Wade in the silent music that follows a conversation, a poem or a song. Dip your heart in the hushed pool of your lover's eyes just before you kiss, or breathe in the laughter of a child. Wander in the forest, observe life.  Notice. Notice. Notice.

To experience it, turn your outer senses inward, your inner senses outward. Let them topple together in new ways.  Listen with your heart.  Feel with your eyes.  See by sensing.  Bathe in the language of Presence.  Hold the space.  Witness the ecstatic applause of the trees.  Hear the bug music.  Glimpse the infinity that waits in every Now.
