This is what it's like to have an experience:

Pour water into a glass... and drink it.
Stick your tongue out at a pretty girl.
Inhale.
Inhale deeper.
Inhale until you feel the skin on your chest stetch itself thin.
Understand that this feeling, this is desire.

Exhale.

Sometimes it's okay to look into the sun.
It shows you that there are things in existance that we don't see on a daily basis,
even if those "things" are only optical illusions created by the detachment of the human retina.
Blink.
Blink.
Blink it out of your line of vision.
Understand that this feeling, this is restoration.

Listen.
Listen closer.
Listen until the symphony of sounds becomes a single, high pitched silence.
This is called harmony.
Harmony happens when the sum of the parts is equal to the whole.

Kiss your daughter on the forehead.
Kiss your daughter on the forehead.
Kiss your daughter on the forehead,
because tomorrow you might be dead.

Do not watch the sun rise or sun set.
Those things are cyclical and never change.
You will learn nothing.
Instead, it is wiser to watch an old piano age.
With every passing second, it changes.
Understand that this feeling, this is growing up.

Check the time.
Check the time.
Check the time in China.
There are people in Prague, right this second.
They are not where you are.
Life is not linear.
Understand that this feeling, this is chaos.

There are Churches.
There are clergymen.
There are believers.
There has never been a God.

Just because one thing is reality, doesn't mean that all else is real as well.

Close your eyes.
Inhale.
Inhale.
Inhale.
Listen.
Exhale.
Open your eyes.
Blink
Blink
Blink...

This is an experience.
You are living and feeling.

Happy Birthday to you, darling.
And many, many, many more.
