Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 That's quite an experience! I've had 4 similar experiences, with that drowsy resignation slipping over me. It's weird...I know that millions of people around the world have felt their lives slipping aay and then had reverse back in. Despite so many of us, each time I've felt very alone in the experience, not believing that anyone could possibly fathom it. Fortunately, it's not a lonely alone but more of being in awe of how little and big life is. Try not to judge the " importance " of what you do on this planet based on anyone else's standards. I'm sure your heart tells you every day what is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
