Title: Discuss your moments of clarity
Post by: Selkie on May 27, 2008, 05:26:21 PM
Yesterday I went running on the Appalachian Trail which I do often.

I got to where I wanted to go, then turned around, and went back and stopped at a beautiful lookout on protruding rocks that I often go to. I turned on Black Cherry on my MP3 player because I like listening to that song on that lookout for some reason.

And I just got a sense of realization and clarity of how beautiful life is and I shed a tear.

Those are the moments that remind me why I am still living.

I feel that way when laying on my back looking up at the sky, whether it be day or night. Just imagining the infinite space beyond that is pretty amazing and beautiful. Hopefully someday I'll be able to do that with the Northern Lights above me.

Same with me, but throw in a blunt, a good golden age classic song and me running the trails in the woods near my house.

I was looking at my new HD TV and I was like, "Holy shit, so this is what it's like to be alive?". baddood;

I get those a lot when I'm driving places, except instead of "wow things are beautiful" it's "wow what the fuck is this shit I'm living in" and it depresses me. Occasionally I have the "wow life is amazing" feelings, but the last one I remember having was in Annecy, France in March, which to begin with is a beautiful place, but this one moment that struck me was looking out of my hotel window down this cobbled alley seeing French people open up their little Patisseries and Glaceries for the day... there was something so incredibly human about it that I really rarely observe around where I live.

I was down at the creek...watching the water go by on a summer evening...the sound of the water swishing and how clear the sky was...just brought a tear into my eye.

Whenever we drive upstate or to Pennsylvania, seeing all the hills and mountains and whatnot make me thing "Wow, despit all of its problems, this place is still pretty amazing. baddood;"

I had to take out the grass for the garbage men to pick up tomorrow. (They pick up our grasses on Wednesday in my area) And on my way back to the house, I looked up at the stars and was like woah.

I throw it out  because my dad tells me to and if I don't he throws a bitch fit. We just cut it, bag it up, and leave it out Tuesday night to get picked up Wednesday.

I've never had anything like that, as far as I know. There are moments where I have this thought where I am SO CLOSE to realizing something life-changing or something like that, but I lose it almost instantly.

I love when happenings like this occur.

My most recent one was last week when I was walking home from school and it started raining but not in the way that would make it a nuisance, just nice. Everything sounded really muffled and I listened to "Preteens" by Arrah and the Ferns and everything seemed alright.
