Last week I spent a few hours with a friend, catching up, comparing notes as to what we are currently dealing with.
We somehow arrived at feeling naturally high, happy just to be alive.
At times it seems more difficult to get there. We are at different points in our lives, yet we share the drive to be outdoors. We both love our back yards.
The possibility to step outside, having a moment to feel ,smell, hear and see the sun, wind , colors, movement makes me happy.
I experienced one of my most intense highs back home, in Germany, many years ago.
It was summer and friends and I visited the kid, who lived on top of our old train station. We climbed out on the roof and looked down the tracks.
He had just bought “Physical Graffiti” and we listened to Kashmir as the sun set.
To this day, when I hear the opening note of this song (my all time favorite!) I am 16 again, feeling every sensation as if I was back on that roof top.
I hope you too have a go-to-high, a memory or a song that makes you happy to be alive.
