Transcendental experience

I was in the forrest again, walking on the path that was made by human feet.
After having walked there for a while I was passing a spot in the forrest where the light seemed to be stronger and was nearly flooding in through the trees. Between the tall grass I could see that it was filled with purple flowers
and the green moss on the trunks was shining brightly against this purple color. I felt an instant call to go in there - away from the path.

It was like a little home of its own in there
a place surrounded by tall trees hiding it from the world.
I opened myself up to this place, walking slowly taking it all in.
...a cricket singing a soft song in the grass, the brightness of the colors flashing towards me.
When swiping my hands across the flowers and leafs, I could feel them caressing me roughly on the skin, leaving touches of both pain and tickling pleasure
The smells of the forrest , of moss and green grass, of mud and flowers were pressing strong on my soul and nearly overwhelming me.

I just walked through it silently and the moment touched me deeply
the beauty of nature and life made me cry

I have had some of these moment before, were life seems to nearly stand still. Were all colors and smells are nearly painfully beautifull and all my senses are as awake as they can ever manage to be
Its a feeling of life in its strongest ways - a total grasp of the moment.

In these moments I feel religious
but in a different way than you might think.
I feel the strong connection to the earth. I feel my belonging to it, sharing it, being a part like all of us that makes it complete.
I really felt like one with all my surroundings for a while and it left an impression on my heart.

I felt a yearn to live like this - just being close to nature - it was nearly like a calling
....and as I walked out of this place, the feeling, the smells and the colors of the forrest lingered in my heart
And when passing the same street as the previous week* ,my thoughts were quite the opposite as the last time...
I was filled up with life
