Sometimes, I try to understand how big the universe is. Or how vast the ocean. things like that. I try, my mind very still, just try to FEEL that incomprehensible bigness of everything. Of course, I don’t manage to understand. But I do get a (very) brief glimpse of it. It’s a very overwhelming feeling to be on the brink of understanding, you know the understanding is there, but you just can’t grab it. Same if you try to imagine „infinity“. You try not to think of any kind of a border, impossible.
One time I was surfing alone at a beach in Bali. Just me and the ocean. And as I was sitting there in the water, a storm was brewing, the sky heavy and grey, the water unruly I felt so brutally tiny, like a grain of sand in the desert. And the vastness, the weight of the water, the whole ocean pressed down on me. I lasted half an hour then that feeling just got too much to bear…
And then, sometimes, when I’m surrounded by thousands of people in the city, or when I’m walking through a deserted neighborhood, I try to imagine all those peoples lifes at once. Millions of different stories, different fates, emotions… Again, just impossible.
But I just like doing that.
