Do you know what infinity feels like?

It feels
Like rain rushing through your veins.
Like fire in your fingertips.
Like the scent of opportunity.
Like an earthquake is wrestling every brick of apprehensivity out of your bones.
Like a scream is stretching its arms out to reach for life outside of your body.

So you have to respond.

You have to
Drive at 80 mph with your best friend or lover when it’s too late at night to feel responsible.
Roll down the windows.
Turn up your stereo as loud as it goes.
Close your eyes and shut them tight.
Stretch your arms out the windows.
Tilt your head back.
Sit still.
And let it trample you like a stampede.

As you sit still, you must take it all in.

Embrace living in that perfect moment.
Embrace being who you are.
Embrace knowing that person in the driver’s or passenger’s seat.
Embrace love.
Embrace music.
Embrace the night.
Embrace being alive.

And let go.
