Sensing

I was there and I watched the clouds move. The sun was washing over the windows of the tall buildings that started to emerge in every inch of the city. The sound of the man singing, resonated, while the beat of the drums reverberated.

People were moving, talking, glancing. Energy bounced off in every direction. Invisible waves of thoughts and emotions floated in the air in colors imaginable. I could feel them traversing the open even if all else were black and white. People's emotions are so strong that they overwhelm every part of me. It injects a heavy dose of uncertainty, and an even stronger dose of security that many are with me in feeling what life has brought to the plate.

Many of us cannot sense what is there because we are preoccupied with a million other things that hinder our ability to feel other people, to feel their joy or their pain, their success or failure. Or maybe, sometimes, we only think of ourselves all the time.
