"today i was listening to the radio (97.1 couleurs FM - i think they were playing a mozart piano concerto, but i'm not sure - why don't they ever say the name of the song? - grrrr) and the song was soooo beautiful and made me feel so happy that it made me sad that i couldn’t feel more. have you ever felt that way? have you ever felt so happy that it makes you sad that you don’t have the capacity to feel more? have you ever felt like a drinking glass – so limited by the walls that bind you and give you form? like you can only hold a limited amount of happiness in you and no more? but then the problem is that your brain still recognizes that you want to be happier – its like your brain knows that your glass is full, it can understand that it is full, but at the same time it realizes that there is so much more that you could be feeling if only your human form didn't limit you. like what Dante was talking about – that paradise is divided based on each soul’s capacity to take in the light of God. the souls can only take in a limited amount, not the whole thing. i can only know a limited amount of God, as much as my soul allows. but when i see His light, then even though i’m so so happy, my brain lets me know that there is so much of His light that i just don’t have the capacity to feel. and knowing that i am so limited, that is so tragic. you know what i mean? have you ever felt that way?"
"um...no."
