I like this.

"the strangest thing happened on the way to me this day. I met myself and found that i'm really not me after all. Or perhaps i should say that i have found out what it is like to exist. For that's all there was left that instant, at that instant when feeling, thinking, being, all were caught up into one ebbing unity; a unity which was me, but not me, too. A me-not-me which stood there nakedly and pointed back at itself in a sorrowful joy, and asked "why?" that's all, just "why?" but then the "why" didn't matter and it just was! i have now the strangest feeling that i'm so alone and yet so crowded. Have you ever felt like all that existed was you, and that suddenly the reason for your "youness" was knocked out from underneath you?
... I have just come back from seeing the world for the first time."
