Some things we feel are real. Some are not. The phantom phone vibration in your pocket. The effects of the placebo pill. The spiritual awakening. The new disciple who was touched by God. We can feel anything if we want it bad enough.
“It’s so close I can feel it.”
Are the hymns sung in every pew in vain? Are we all just trying to feel something?
But then again, who knows. Your lips feel Holy to me.
