Smoke And Mirrors (2004)
“But there was no smoke, just the fire of the sun shining through the leafless branches. I felt paralyzed, but in a good way. It was the kind of feeling I expected if ever aliens transported me up into a spacecraft.
Immobility and a kind of diffuse feeling of well-being. I felt myself being drawn toward the light even though I was not moving. I felt like I was one with the tree and one with the sun. And no, I had not been toking up (marijuana makes me cough) and I was not taking anything illegal... or over-the-counter.
I think this feeling, this sense of overwhelming connection and awe, lasted for nearly a minute. Then the sun was dropping beneath the horizon and it was gone.
I felt cold and alone and infinitely sad, for what I had experienced was so brief.
I kept expecting the same thing to happen again. But it didn’t. I tried to make it happen but it wasn’t there. It was like a fleeting window had opened up to another world, another way of being, another me — and then that window was gone, maybe forever.MoreLess
