Tears of joy...?
Published on March 3, 2004 By dharmagrl In Misc
I had what can only be described as a sublime experience this afternoon.

I had purchased George Harrison's Greatest Hits and was contentedly doing some housework whilst listening to it.

"My Sweet Lord' came on...and I was, for some reason, moved to tears. I was in the kitchen, singing along at the top of my voice, giving it all I had, clapping, dancing, with a big manic grin on my face and what can only be described as tears of joy streaming down my cheeks.

I have never, ever had anything like this happen to me before, ever. I wasn't intoxicated, but I literally felt high on happiness...it felt like everything in the universe was good, it was great, all was at one and cool and wonderful and love was everywhere, love was in me, not just love for my friends and family but love for my fellow man, my fellow human being on this earth.

Even after the song ended I still felt that way. I've calmed down some, but I'm still shaking, and I'm still teary eyed and smiling.

Why and how it happened, I don't know, and I'm not going to question it.


All I know is that it was amazing......

My answer is :

Music is moving.

That kind of thing happens to me fairly often. Beautiful thing, isn't it?
