This post stirred something deep within. You have expressed it beautifully. It took me back to my days in the Bay Area, when sometimes, after work, I didn’t feel like heading home and break from my usual routine. I’d hop on my motorbike and ride out to the Marin Headlands, where I once stumbled upon a little hostel and decided to stay the night. That evening, I had dinner in Sausalito, met some wonderful people, played music, and shared long conversations. It was all unplanned, and it felt almost unreal. I never met them again, and I don't know where they are now. But it left a lasting impression. The magic of opening up to complete strangers! And as you said, it can also be felt in solitude. Sometimes I feel it when I'm all alone in a forest, making a cup of tea and watching the clouds. You can feel it towards inanimate objects. It fills you with warmth and contentment.
Reading your post, I caught a glimpse of that feeling again. Thank you for sharing it.
Ahh that's awesome. I remember that story about the hostel, that's a cool example. I think you've always been good at tapping into this, you have a lot of good stories to match :D
