“Being alive is an odd mixture of mundane tasks and profound experiences.“ — great line. And a great piece. Being alive is a wild and whimsical experience and you captured that well :)
That first paragraph when you shoot at capturing the feeling of being alive and the realization of "This is happening." Yes, its enormous.
I relate also with the rest of the article, which I find it to be an attempt to pin point in detail that same feeling; this time shooting with a shotgun. The same thing I find myself enticed to do after a big revelation. Yes, your article is the experience itself.
Let me share with you something I wrote today. It's about regarding each day as a lifetime in itself. I hope you enjoy it as much I enjoyed your experience.
Wow thanks for that comment, especially the comparison with the shotgun😂 - it can be a thrilling, shocking experience to realize what I am trying to describe, or to feel it, but you get used to it as you feel it more often..each time it hits you you are deeper in it than before.
Thank you for this reminder to always be opening, to reweird the everyday ⚡
Amazing to hear you could take something with you from the post, love to hear that:)
I concur. Life is a strange, weird and crazy ride.
💯
Great post! I absolutely love the video that you attached. It really makes you think about life and living in its entirety.
Reccomend to check out the other videos of "Pursuit of Wonder"
Thank you! Yes, I think videos are a great way to deepen the "perspective" one is talking about:)
