Its... it’s like an adrenaline rush,
like you get from say bungee jumping
or when you ride a super fast roller coaster,
but mixed with a kind of high?
and it makes my heart race and my knees feel weak,
but at the same time I feel like I can run 40 miles,
all topped with that butterflies in your stomach kind of feeling,
like you get when you look over the side of say the Hoover Dam?
it’s a great amazing feeling.
I also feel like nothing the world can hurt me
cause I am protected.
I also get a feeling, like,
if you can imagine what it would be like to be a wolf
running with your pack feeling like you belong,
the wind in your fur and the grass or gravel under your paws,
the sound of your packmates' paws hitting the ground,
your heart racing, your senses magnified,
and just the feeling of freedom and belonging and the running feeling,
and if you can imagine
like a bird in flight kind of feeling,
or you as a wolf howling at the moon kind of feeling.
Like you were meant to do the thing you are doing,
like you were born for that thing.
Also with the deep feeling of just grateful
and full of love and just surrounded by that warm fuzzy feeling you get.
Usually my mind is also super clear like when you are talking
I can barely hear the world around me,
The Voices are quiet
and the voices around us are very fuzzy and blurry sounding.
If any of that makes any sense at all.
