Question
I was talking with Bryce yesterday as we walked up the Radical Road at sunset about poetic inspiration, for lack of a better word. It’s not necessarily that you are lead to write or contemplate poetry (but that’s the form it mostly takes with me), but one of those times when things sort of slide into place. It’s not as big as an epiphany, but a pervasion of beauty, art, truth, etc. Have people had this sort of experience I’m talking about? It’s a fairly regular staple in my personality so I was surprised not everyone has these moments. If you’re confused, try reading this post or this one as tentative examples of what I’m talking about.

I don’t know if this is the same, but once I had a friend from the U come over to our apartment in SLC to do her laundry and while she was folding her clothes and we were talking about God, we were listening to a recording of Pachabel’s canon. As we got more excited and emotional and talking faster, the music seemed to be doing the same. I like moments of synchronicity like that.

Yes, I know what you mean. When everything comes together I usually write, sketch or paint or just sit in the silence and experience the moment while thinking deep and lofty thoughts as if I have been
elevated from the experience and am looking down on it. It is very cool and sometimes hard to describe but much easier to feel and experience the being in the now that is multi-dimensional.
