At a busy place, be it natural full of life, or a place full of people. Have you ever become aware of life surging around you, and sort of sensed the flow of life and time. Many lives unfolding around you, many people who would surely make good friends or lovers but so many, too many. Like water by you? It's amazing, no? Meditation is amazing in the clarity it gives sometimes.
Yeah... I have felt an amazing sense of AWE while watching David Attenborough documentaries. People on the other hand don't give me that impression. I guess it's because I am a bit disappointed on people in general. What does amaze me though is that life has so many twists and turns that can blow your mind. For example, I've known Tchoin for like 4 and a half years now, and never in my life I would have thought of him as a potential partner (that is until he suggested it...). Turns out he's one of the best things to ever happen to me. I was pretty shocked when I found out that so many of the things I find of great value in a person, were embodied so close to myself... But indeed, they were... And thankfully we seized the opportunity to be together :love2: And now I'm ranting... but yeah, pretty much anyone can be a potential friend or lover... Or psycho assasin... Ah, I also forgot to mention that when I look at babies, I go "hmm, this little guy has his/her whole life ahead of him/her... I wonder if he/she will become the next Vladimir Putin... Or the next Charlie Sheen...." And I stare at the child blankly for a couple of minutes, lost in my musings about the future of the creature...
I do that sometimes. Actually more often in reverse. i.e photos of myself at a younger age and say to myself "you have no fucking idea what shit storms lie ahead of you"
Sounds kinda' cheesy, but it's one of the reasons I love going to Las Vegas. The lights, people, and activity can be felt everywhere.
Some times, I get the urge to get to Copenhagen in the middle of the evening. Just to feel that life ASSEMbler has mentioned. And it is an awesome feeling, and since it is finally becoming spring in Denmark I love the bonus of other stuff at the same time. It is just a magnificent feeling. So yeah, I have actually experienced quite a few times.
I usually link that feeling to an other thought: Lots of people around, lots of life forms, different forms, with different lives. Many choices, many ways, many "what-ifs" and "what could have been if". This "infinity" warms my mind, I like it a lot.
