the power of now
no, not that eckart tolle guy. sorry oprah, probably spelled his name wrong.
the power of now as in being 100% completely in the moment. some achieve this through meditation, yoga, 420 etc. for me it’s live music. i have tried to explain this to others and they give me a blank, “you’re weird/crazy” look. in the past few years my happiest, most spiritual and powerful moments have been during concerts. music from such bands as arcade fire, u2, wolf parade, maximo park just to name a few have mesmerized and engaged me to a level unattainable from any other activity. it makes me feel lost in a bubble. so invigorated with energy and passion all else is forgotten. it’s a state in which i wish would last for hours and when it’s over it is not sad. i can relish in it’s awesomeness without grief of it’s abrupt end. extreme calm in a sea of bouncing souls and bodies. no inhibitions or worries. all i hear is joy all i see is the band and all i want is more. living in the moment and can’t wait for next time.
