How do I explain how I felt about it? I guess ... well ... in New York City people spend ten years making something amazing happen, something that captures the essence of an idea so perfectly that suddenly the world becomes ten times clearer. It’s beautiful and it’s powerful and someone devoted a huge piece of their life to it. The local news does a story about it and everyone goes “Neat!” and then tomorrow we forget about it in favor of some other ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND REMARKABLE THING. That doesn’t make those things unwonderful or not unique ... It’s just that there are a lot of people doing a lot of amazing things, so eventually you get a little jaded.
The most amazing lightning I have seen has been at high altitude astronomical observatories. Watching a nearby tree being hit by lightning is an impressive sight and the explosion of sound is awesome.
It was amazing, I felt that strength and I let it go. They sang to me with the voices of freedom and I was gone. When I returned, I was free to walk on the solid ground; with pressure, therefore, I was no longer alone.
