soul food

the quality of sight by which we view our lives has direct bearing upon the experience in which we live and upon the memories in which we hope to cherish and share throughout a lifetime. and yesterday, i let my mind and body wander in nature, completely immersing myself in the world, in this existential rotation we call life. and i discovered, though briefly almost elusively, at the pinnacle of the mountain that day, a flashbulb memory of that truth, that in the midst of our delicate temporality, we can sometimes perceive a feeling of undeniable certainty beyond the grasp of our physical senses, that although we already blindly accept the truth of our present reality, one cannot help but sometimes break that misty barrier and feel confident that she is traveling in the right direction.
