Damn that must be scary in the moment, but also what an interesting experience, was that feeling of seeing the world with a new perspective temporary or do you feel it left any lasting impact?

    it was temporary but unforgettable

    it'd be impossible to live like that, but for a while it felt like being born again

    and it definitely left a lasting impact on me, everything was so easily beautiful. usually you have to look to notice the beauty, but then it was all apparent and awe-inspiring, i was thinking about the concepts of hospitality and langauge, as well as look at the setting sunlight dancing in the window

    i could write a book attempting to describe that evening, and even then it wouldn't be a perfect description, it's something you have to experience
