Amidst the storm, the steel gray sky swirling with rain, I experience a moment of breathlessness. It is not fear. That is a sensation that I abandoned miles back. This is understanding. The magnitude, the strength all comes to my brain at once, and it is astounding. In the next half second, I am pulled forward in a strange break of gravity, and just as quickly, swept back. I let go, and let the warmth and light and love surround me, being drawn into my every pore. Despite this, there is not enough. With no regard to self-preservation, I drift down and out, deeper and farther. Here, I am immersed in light, and can feel the tendrils of love. Tighter and tighter they wrap, crushing me down into nothing. I have never known joy before this.
I have been swept in by the most beautiful wave, a wave called Love.
