The Moments That Inspire Us

                You’re excited, nostalgic, sentimental, and joyous at the same time. Your hair stands on end at the back of your neck as waves travel through your body, warm and cold sensations at the same time. You get the feeling from listening to music that is truly amazing, from seeing an unbelievably adorable animal, seeing your loved one for the first time in months, and the list goes on. During these moments you go from going about your everyday life to feeling “grand.” When music flows the way that it seems it should on an instinctive level, when the future seems to hold incredible events that one can be a part of as a witness and small contributor, and in general when you truly feel in the moment that life has an unimaginable amount of good waiting for you and others. When that tune in life is resonating just right with you for even the smallest amount of time you feel more connected to the rest of humanity and what it means to be happy, because you are experiencing an experience that is unique to the human race.  You become closer to what you are and you become closer to other beings who are also what you are.
