I’ve got a feeling….

… that tonight’s going to be a good night.

Okay, yes tonight is going to be a good night, but I mean, isn’t good all in your perception of it? I was thinking today about feelings, and how you can be in a place a specific time and you can have one feeling, and then return to that same place at a different time and it has a totally different feeling. 

Then there is the whole thing about places just feeling different. Also it is strange about time feeling different, or the same even when you change places. It is strange how depending on the time that you are in a place, you can be feeling something different than before.

I can be in Idaho at one point in my life, but then at another point I am all the way over here in Germany and having the same feeling. Like on my birthday it feels like this nostalgic looking back feeling, yet it felt like that two years ago and last year. Although, if you take seasons for instance, there is a feeling that comes around this time of year that seems to infect all people with sweaters, tea and running through the leaves on a blistery day and enjoying it. Now if it were this cold in the summer months everyone would hate it, but this time brings around a specific aura of feeling that humans all seem to notice.

 

Actually, what I find the strangest is when you get those feelings associated not with anything to do with time or space, but a random stimuli, like a song, or a smell, or the way the light splashes across someone’s face.

So what is it about feelings that make them real to us? What is it that ties them to the physicality of the world or ourselves that makes these different times or places have different meanings. How do each of us have our own feelings in the same place and at the same time that could be totally different and independent of each other?

So I guess what I am trying to say is this phenomenon of feeling is tied to both the places we fill and the moments we are living in… yet it is not at all. 

I guess I shall just stick with this feeling of fall with striped stockings,  loads of spiced tea, watch Tim and Helena movies, and get on with the candy corn!
