story behind this one is actually really interesting:
I hadn’t eaten anything but a tigers bar at work, and only thing I had drank was an energy drink during my lab about hour before. So needless to say… I was starving, dehydrated and to boot high on caffeine, shaking hands, hyper giddy… got to love uppers. Specially while driving! Not doing that again. More alert my ass.

By my college is this big hill that about a 45 degree angle with a main street at the end of it, and a stop light with four lanes, one turning up the hill, two oncoming traffic. Not even pressing the gas somehow got to 50 mph? maybe faster.. maybe slower… was a green light so wasn’t pressing the brakes…. not sure how fast I was going… fast enough when I turned the wheel instead of turning… I just heard a screeching noise and fish tailed out doing a 180 degree drifting turn ending up on a dirt road with my things thrown around but otherwise unhurt because of the red light no other cars were in the other 3 lanes I swung out into.

My response to this: I cracked up and didn’t stop laughing for a mile or so.

The feeling felt... right. and my view of reality is altered. During the spin-out my mind was nowhere else. I was only focusing on what my car was doing, where other cars were, the feeling of the pull of the car against me as it swung around- even can recall the “what the hell!” look the face of the guy on his bike waiting at the light… the screeching my tires were making despite the fact I left no skid marks and fact that before I could even react to the fact that time had slowed to a crawl… I was on a dirt road facing the opposite direction I had been with the things in my car thrown about.

That state of mind: that feeling of being completely in the now, is an amazing feeling, being truly free from my preconceptions, being truly free of concerns, worries, the future, the past or plans... When one is that space… one is aware of ones surroundings in a way that is hard to put words to… it is a sense of… full spatial awareness… seeing reality from no perspective, and all perspectives all at once. Perceiving myself spin out control as the biker, the lady in the SUV next to the biker, the road under my tires, the trees in the field I was spinning towards (they were worried I’d hit them) and seeing the flow of energy forming a collective whole and a sense of .. .true sight. The beauty of that clear… fuzzy mesh of multiple realties intertwining no words can give that pure beauty any justice.

My moment is now,
not then or later.
can’t take life too serious
Just focus on the path.
Not the destination.
