That Feeling You Get

So...you know that feeling you get?  When you're kinda lazy and don't have anything planned, for the near present or the far future?  That's how I feel right now.

Not totally discontented with my lot (laziness has it's pros) but afraid I'll get stuck here.

I guess that best way to describe what i'm feeling right now is to draw a picture for you:

Imagine a wide place in space.

Now imagine planets revolving, close enough to see fairly clearly, but too far to touch.

I am a little person floating there.  Not attached to anything.  Just floating.

That's about how I feel.  Very unattached.

Sooner or later I'm going to have one of those out of body experiences.  Where you start questioning how everything is and wondering why such a little "tied-to-time" body like yours could be connected to the vast soul you are.  Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this.

I still remember the first time I felt like that.  It was at my great-grandmothers house.  I was taking a nap, that I was very much against taking, in the middle of the day.  The sun was shinning in the window and I was lying on my great-grandmothers old bed in my great-grandmothers old room.

As I lay there trying to understand how it was that I had got here and searching for some possible reason or way to escape...I got that weird feeling.  It was such an exhilarating alien feeling that I immediately forgot about my unwanted nap.  End of very boring story.

So...I forgot where I was going with this.  Oh, yes, floating in space.

Well I don't really feel like I can finish the post that way because I no longer feel like that.

End of of out of body experience.

I do wonder why we have those experiences?  Does it have something to do with this earth not being our real and final home?

Eternal thoughts.
