Moving beyond the I AM experience

      Someone noted the other day how, where in conversation he used verbs and nouns, I used adjectives. Hmmmm I felt about for a moment and responded "why, yes that is true". In every moment I have developed the habit of observing what pleases and describing feeling it brings up within me to reflect back to it and simply appreciating the sense of the adjective.
    For example: I see something pretty. I love "pretty". I enjoy the feeling of loving "pretty".  I say or more likely, sing "pretty". I may twirl about feeling "pretty". I see something I could describe as powerful. "Wow, powerful! I like powerful" I pump my arms in the gesture of feeling powerful and I sink into enjoying loving "powerful".
    It is alot like taking a sip of something and allowing it to roll around over the tongue for a while, tasting the various spices involved, the temperature, enjoying the scent wafting up into the nostrils, feeling for affects on the body and then swallow. Appreciate the moment that just occurred, appreciate it's effects and do it all over again. Every experience is a body full-"mouth full"- of swirling energies/sensations.
  I never say to myself "I am angry". The word "Anger" enters my mind, let's find a better feeling. I like "happy". I feel happy and sense happy in me and look again at what triggered anger. I see it clearly. I say to myself "clear", I like the feeling of being clear on something. Suddenly there is a solution in my mind. My actions, if action is appropriate, are precise, simple, direct, effective and I no longer feel anger within me when focusing on that which previously triggered anger. I sense and acknowledge clear, ease, simple. I enjoy appreciating those things. Adjectives are my nouns. They are also my verbs because I did not experience "making coffee" this morning. There was bitter and sweet in my morning. There was smooth where I pushed the start button. It was quick and easy. The things I needed to accomplish that activity were abundant, freely available. I remind my mind to think "free", "abundant", "happy". That summons feelings.
   My life is sensing, feeling, perceiving experiences of adjectives. It feels simple. It is simple-minded. In a world of adjectives, experience is all there is. "I AM" is no longer present in my experience. It is not about a "me" and an "it", "he" or "she". It is about the adjectives present. There is no need to posses/own material things because it's all about the adjectives I use to describe them and embody. And in that experience, "there is only me" because somehow it's all about everything else. I don't get it and that is OK with me. It does not need to "make sense" because it is peaceful, delightful, fluid, flowing, serene, powerful.............and someone somewhere out there knows what it means. That is good enough for me!
   Along with the adjective living is love for only me. I can love another, but I could never love them as much as I love me. Another can love me, but they will never be able to love me as much as I love me. For me, there is only me. I experience and exist in the sense/feeling of "my one and only", the adjective.
 And no, I don't know what that means either, lol. Nothing needs imply anything, nothing needs explaining, nothing needs defining, nothing needs meaning they are all nuances/shades of the same thing.
