travis' brain dump

 

just pardon me here… i’m about to sound like a utopian idealist or a hippie or something… but its what is on my mind.  

do you ever have one of those perfect moments… you know, when everything seems so clear?

it’s like you understand your purpose in life and the meaning of what you’re doing if not only by a simple feeling? like the first time you stand on a mountain top and the only sound you hear is the wind or the first time you look into your childs eyes after they are born. if you have not had a moment like this, i highly recommend finding a way to experience one. you don’t have to rush to a mountain top or have a child, those are just examples. they can happen any time, any place and for any reason, but what you must keep in mind is that you must keep an open mind and accept its arrival when it comes. it comes as an emotion, an understanding and you know it for what it is when it happens. i’ve experienced many such moments in my life and I just wish my entire life could be one continuous series of those moments. it’s like being at peace without dying. i feel sorry for people who can’t find these moments amongst the many trials and problems in their lives… it seems to me like it would be a waste of existence. for those brief moments i think we find ourselves in touch with what and who we really are, our true selves. we spend so much time of this world, caught up in fighting with each other or finding things to fight with each other about that we lose sight of our own existence and who we really are… politics, war, religion, economics, whatever… they all seem to cloud who we really are inside. i wish we could actually all get along, but unfortunately the nature of our human existence doesn’t seem to allow for that. but, if you can find a way to connect with who you really are and experience the ‘perfect moment’, i encourage you to do so…
