what do you feel? i mean what do you really feel? i remember when i was a little girl and certain times of the year i was overcome with feelings: anticipation...excitement...joy...fear. and not only did i feel emotionally - but i felt physically as well.
i remember tingling. you know - when your tummy sort of turns upside down. or maybe it was more like a flock of butterflies that were doing loop-de-loops in my belly. regardless of what words are used to describe it, there was a physiological event that happened inside of my very being and i could feel emotion. i mean really feel it!
i am an adult now - but i still feel the tingly. sometimes when my eyes see a certain person the tingly starts. other times i can become overwrought with tingly as i think about an upcoming event - like dinner with one of my grown boys. i even get tingly when i begin to ponder something exciting in my future like a motorcycle ride or springtime.
the point is I TAKE TIME TO TINGLE. i feel it. i breathe in the feeling. i roll it around my brain. i let the very thought squish around between the part of my brain that separates thoughts into different categories. i purposely allow the notion to grow from a fleeting thought to a four color, multi-dimensional, full feature idea.
i rue the day i loose my tingly. do you have your tingle still? if not, why? it feels really good. i think you should stop reading this right now and look for it. i bet you can find it right next to the feeling you get at the very top of the swing just as you begin the downward fall. and for heaven's sake hold on to it once you find it!
