Have you ever been transported by emotion, where an overflowing sense takes you beyond the skin wrapped around your bones? Where the present moment expands, leading you to a place where there isn’t a map and your mind cannot label it. Like a lucid dream, where the air is no longer what you breath to survive. Where surrendering you find yourself trusting the interior altar of sanctity.
It doesn’t take much for this "feeling" in me to arise, though it isn’t something I can control. This expanse of wonder and awe, this hard to label feeling, arises when I least expect it, and when it does everything makes sense. I am caught in the happiness to be alive, grounded in something beyond me.
Have you ever had an out of body experience?
