Urge to Laugh

Sometimes, I get an overwhelming sensation of happiness. This can happen at anytime and at anywhere, whether it's the way light falls on the jagged edge of a mountain edge or when warm wind blow hair away from my face. But when it does, I just get the urge to laugh, and smile, and laugh. At times like that, I am just happy to be alive and I realize that everything was worth it. That every year, every month, every day, every hour, every second, was all worth it. It's times like that where I can't help but smile, but most of all, to feel the air fill my lungs, and laugh till my face hurts...to realize the preciousness of each nano-second and laugh the sincere laugh where I realize that this life is beautiful - and nothing can take that away.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. It really made me feel great. I know how you feel. I, too, have had very special realizations. Actually, one has been happening all this week :) Sigh...I love being happy.

I told my friend what you said Emir, and he said, Hm, that explains why I get into relations and then I stop going out and drinking like hell - and when I am close to finishing some relationship, I start a little before drinking. Yeah, being in love...the best high you´ll ever have...

Sheila... just beautiful. Amen, sister!

It's funny how this feeling comes upon you without any warning. It just enters your heart like a whirlwind and uplifts you instantaneously. A high on being alive - happy - united with all beings.

I hope your many laughs echo in Beijing. (that sounded suspiciously like a fortune cookie)
