Laura. I went on a glorious drive the other day, where the world seemed more vast than usual and more extraordinarily beautiful than I had been remembering. I wondered how many people see what we see--the beauty so apparent and surrounding us. I wondered how many people were driving just to drive and drink in everything and how many were just on the narrow-eyed path home. I wondered how anyone could doubt the existence of our Creator when everything expanded on and on and on past the horizon, brimming and buzzing with the fullness of life.
It's a wonderful and horrible gift all at the same time...because that moment of clarity only lasts for as long as my mind will allow it. Afterwards, everything is dull in comparison. Not always, though. Sometimes the vibrance of a moment seeps into the rest of my life and leaves me perfectly content. I understand why both reactions must occur, I think. To quote Kahlil Gibran, "The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain."
I know I went off on a rant, but that is how I see things.

I felt life on that drive.
Just like I'm not feeling Christmas.
