I feel alive...

Jun 17, 2004 22:00

About 5 minutes ago I was going out back to my fridge to get some food. When I was closing the door of the fridge a moth flew in (one of those tiny ones that you always see swarming around lights). I was going to just close the door and leave it there, but as I walked out of my cabana (that's where the fridge is) I suddenly had this strange feeling and I automatically turned around, went back into the cabana, opened the fridge door and stood there with the door open until i found the moth, picked it up walked back out side, and set in on the table.

I don't know what compelled me to do this, but I did. And when I did, I felt like I was no longer carrying the world on my shoulders. It was a beautiful feeling. I know that the life of this one little moth would probably not affect the world in any way, but just the thought that I saved its life brought me a strange joy. Almost a childish one. Like when you see a little kid playing and they see a butterfly and they are just intriqued by something so simple. I can't even begin to explain this.

But I feel beautiful.
