lightness

there are moments when i'm enthralled with this life.

last night in the middle of performing 'superior', one of erik's new songs, this feeling of lightness came over me, to the point that i thought i might actually float off the stage.

i think that's all you're supposed to look for in this life; these moments where your consciousness is shifted without the use of drugs, or overt physical duress, and you transcend the finiteness of your existence by simply becoming one with the moment.  time ceases to exist.  the phrase 'be here now' actually makes sense.

and then you spill coffee all over your pants on the way to the bathroom later.

and it's back to square one.

but to just get a glimpse.  it's wonderful
