The world around him would turn sharp and vivid, as if until then he had been seeing everything on a flat screen and suddenly someone had taken the screen away to expose a 3-D world. He noticed details in ways that he wouldn’t otherwise.

I feel a happiness unthinkable in the normal state and unimaginable for anyone who hasn’t experience it . . . I am then in perfect harmony with myself and the entire universe.

I am constantly searching for the rare, divine, silver-edged moments we are occasionally fortunate enough to experience, when one senses, or even actually sees, the strings that tie together the universe. Understanding the provenance of such moments, their meaning, and how to obtain more of them is what I am always seeking. This is a space for all of you to share your experiences that defy easy explanation. I hope a visit here leaves you feeling relieved, emboldened, and less alone. I look forward to hearing from you.
