every so often, a day like today happens. the timing of the stop lights. the steady flow of traffic. no one is cut off. no one has to wait too long. everyone moves in their own turn. even at the junctions. where jostling is a constant. everyone finds their lane. and separate each their ways. a sudden surge of gratitude. a feeling of joyful knowing. a certitude of a primal truth. this is how it should be. a divine sense of being. a oneness with all.

rain falls upon me
yet eyes need to be shielded
brightness of the sun

Have you ever had the feeling that something’s not quite right but can’t quite put your finger on it? If it happens once or may be twice you may pass it off as a normal variation, but when you start looking for it and seeing it everywhere. Then the passing curiosity changes into a raging obsession that sets you off on quest for the truth no matter how inglorious it may be.
