I find myself in an amazing mood tonight

I feel like I've seen Borges' Aleph. I'm having a moment of mental clarity that is like a cool autumn night. I feel very present.

And for the first time in over a year, I feel truly, deeply grateful to be here on this sacred planet I call home.

For the first time in a long time, I feel like a shining light in the world.

It's damn shame when I don't let myself recognize that.

But for now, for however long this lasts, I feel complete.

I wish I could give this to you - this feeling of complete calm and centeredness. It is akin to that place between sleeping and waking, where the pattern is clear.

I like this state of being. I think I'll keep it.
