Discovery

by Brian on 8/30/2006

I think the strongest feeling that exists is discovery.

Imagine what it would be like to be a pilot flying high up in the sky, with your compasses and maps in front you, carefully following your flight plan to every careful detail, and then, just at the right time and the right moment in front of you is the runway you been searching for the whole trip.  Imagine being in a sailboat on the ocean for months, doubtful that you’ll ever find land, but then, just in front of you is a new continent.

Life seems to call for adventure, but maybe more specifically it’s calling for exploration; searching for something to discover.

We discover new songs, we discover new friends, we discover new interests, we discover new places.

Just think for a moment about everything in life that you have discovered, and how you’ve felt about each one of them.

I remember the day I discovered I’m alive.

I remember the day I discovered the woman I love.

I remember the day I discovered that there was a God.

I think discovery is the strongest feeling.

    I can relate to that, i.e., discovery is the “strongest feeling” as when I used to travel, I’d get a good chill up my spine when some feeling would occur, always the impression of adventure and the thrill of the road. I’d now ask whether any one feeling could have greater or lesser strength or weight in the entirety of human emotions. Discussion?
