***Insight*** That Infinite Feeling

There is an emotion, a state of mind. that I have the blessing of experiencing from time to time. It is fleeting, unexpected, but oh so pure.

I have no name to give it. I cannot dishonor it by describing it in a handful of words. Beacause:

It's when you look up at the sky in the blackest night, and see EVERY star, as if for the first time.

It's walking down the middle of an otherwise busy, but now barren street at 2 in the morning and laying down in the rough pavement.

It's the rush of night-life; that "go-go!" rush of action on a neon-lit, roaring street crowded with glorious sky scrapers.

It's as if it's halloween, or you're in wonderland, things can be as absurd as they wish; the absurdity is beautiful.

It's the quaint charm of the small brick cottage on a quiet, grassy dirt road. The sun sits as a dew-drop of liquid gold on the water-color horizon that casts the windows an equally blinding gold glare. The house is kissed by hundreds of yellow and red tulips who gather around its vine tangled walls. Complete simplicity. You can think of nothing more perfect or ideal. The cottage becomes your universe.

This feeling breaks all inhibition and floods you with the purest joy you can imagine. Rules and normality become a silly joke; to be laughed at and to add that laughter to this growing crescendo of this wonderous sensation!

You want to dance! You want to waltz with the sweet,old lady bundled for the winter's cold and share that joy with her, you want to make her feel special, and perhaps, just for a moment, have her lost in that fleeting world of revelry with you. You hope everyone is watching!

You want to paint! To drown your canvas in wide swathes of every color; Red! Yellow! Purple! You want to compose, a lyric, a song, symphony!

You want to DO. You want to act! Anything! Anything to satiate this hunger. Run, Jump, shout! Discover every corner of the world.

Time has stopped, yet you want to do everything, experience everything NOW.

You feel your feet on the ground, but you know you aren't tethered to the world anymore.

Everything has harmony, life has a rhythm. You feel it, embrace it, and let it sweep you off your feet. It all seems to fit together, and you fit with it.

It is pure inspiration, an eclipse of the mind into pure wonder and awe.

You have no worries, you are infinite, immortal.

You're traveling at the speed of light; you're a force of nature. Nothing is beyond you, you have no limits!

It's as though you have just discovered the world!




And you think to yourself: this is what heaven must be like

Oh this feeling. So precious, so divine. A priceless gem, an exquisite aroma, a glorious, heavenly anthem, a once in a lifetime feeling.

How I wish all mankind could no this feeling for a single moment, so we could stop the world on its axis and all look at the stars together.
