On the last Sunday along with some fellow meditators I visited a jungle. There we had a spiritual talk together. On our way back a tree winked at me and whispered into my heart: "Come tomorrow, alone" as if inviting me to a date.

There I was the following evening. I sat in front of the tree. Both of us perfectly still. Our eyes got locked in a silent embrace! A wordless tête-à-tête began. It was punctuated by the chirping of birds. So intoxicating! It grew stronger with the orange wine offered by the setting sun. Still stronger with the cool breeze flirting around. I was simply stoned! In utter bliss, my eyes closed, and a dimension beyond time-space unveiled. Transcendence!
