2021/7/29 Gradually it overflowed into uncontrollable overjoyment. It felt so good I couldn't help but laugh. I was both aware of myself having the experience and having it at the same time. Becoming the object of my attention. The wind, then some fog, a strip of paint on the road, that tree. Wow, that tree. I couldn't believe how wonderful that tree was. I've been by there quite a few times. I've seen and probably looked closely at that tree before, but today, well, that tree. So I laughed, and I felt uneasy about riding in traffic while I was this ebullient. 'I should walk, get grounded first' I told myself. The effect didn't peter out like I expected. No momentary blast this time. I walked down Haight wondering who I could call out to, request help being brought down from Samadhi. I passed a shop with some incense flowing out the door and that did the trick. I felt embodied again. I got on my bike and rode a block or two. There were interesting things to look at so I stopped and walked again noticing the feeling returning as I proceeded. 'Nowhere to be, so I'll just keep walking in this beautiful day' I reasoned. I decided I'd better figure something out so I could get home but realized that despite knowing full well how to ground myself I really didn't want to. I mean, I felt so good. It only took a few minutes more walking before I settled down enough to feel comfortable biking. I still felt pretty incredible, but a bit more together. Home, familiar patterns, and still some delight at just everything. I hope it lasts.
