the bell on the lake

...here and now, as clear as a bell across the lake water...

oceanic experience

The experience of being at one with the entire universe and a feeling of meaningful purpose to all existence, often with feelings of compassion and love for all beings. Usually a brief and entirely unexpected event.





One day, while walking with my family near a lake in France, I had just such an experience. There seemed to be no reason or rhyme as to why this event happened. While looking for the answers to why, I make notes along way.

I share these notes with you here.
