Beautifully felt into and described! If I have tapped into what your experience is and the sense of resonance I feel is tracking accurately: This is where creator and creation are apperceived as one - facilitated by an active and consciousness engagement in the creative process of perception and fluid identification in and as that along with what is perceived. Total immersion in and as That and its emergent process and arisings.
Shinzen Young speaks of the skills necessary to have a 'complete experience' of what is here and now as basis for the development of equanimity and 'happiness independent of conditions'.
First, I need to be aware that my perception and thinking are likely in a state of 'default contraction' that restrict the experience of the moment and perpetuate a cycle of distortion.
Then, to cultivate the concentration that allows the skill to 'organize' my perception and thinking, taking them out into a state of expansion compatible with complete experience. 'Prehension' seems to be an ingredient in this skill if I understand correctly.
Over time, maybe 10-20 years, likely more, one may learn to do that effortlessly :).

That August evening walk sounds a lot like Owen Barfield's final participation, a shift by means of perception beyond perception.
