for example, i was at the beach the other day with my friends. we all went swimming. and in the midst of us laughing and dodging the waves, i had this thought: "this water im swimming in - this water i have cupped in hand - is a remarkable thing". now this is the part where you might say "oh, she's lost it!", but read on:

The water that i had cupped in my hand must have been everywhere in the world.. in the sea next to china, in the arctic, down at the bottom of the sea and up in the clouds. these waters have been everywhere since the birth of our earth (and not just at the jersey shore where i was swimming).. and i was holding it in my hand.

yeah, i guess it is a little weird to read back on what i just wrote. i mean, i just made a big fucking deal out of dirty ocean water, but i wouldn't give up these "spontaneous moments of gratitude" for anything. this kinda resembles the "epiphanies" that people sometimes get while smoking weed, only i never needed weed to make me appreciate the simple things in life.
