In my mind, I walked into nature’s cathedral, a stand of trees more massive than the giant sequoias.

“These trees can’t be real,” I thought. “They’re too big.”

“In this place, they can be as big as you like,” a Voice said.

With those words, came an ineffable embrace of Divine Love.

I wanted more, but it all faded until I didn’t see or experience anything except disappointment.

As I left the forest and returned to this realm, the infinite love and connection returned.

“You see,” the Voice said, “it’s here too.”

It hadn’t faded. It never fades.

I’d missed it when I went searching; I experienced it when I was present.
