I believe you. A few years ago I had an experience that was brief but something I will never forget. I've only told two people about this experience because most people I come in contact with are unfortunately a bit close minded about some things. So, now I'll tell a few thousand
I had just walked down my driveway to cross the street and check my mail. As soon as I stepped into the street, something changed. I looked up (still walking), the same scenery was there, but the color was different. The colors of everything....trees, sky, even the mailbox... they were intensley vivid. I don't know if anyone remembers those "Amber sunglasses" they used to sell on TV a few years back, they make everything look sorta cool with the colors.....that's the only thing I can think of to even come close to the way these colors looked.
At the same time the colors changed, I had an immediate sense of calm and I also realized that I had a big grin on my face. I don't want to sound corny, but I felt "connected" to everything in my sight. When I reached up to touch the mailbox, everything returned to "normal." I'm not sure what it is that I experienced, but I liked it.
Looking back on it, I'd give anything to be back in that place again.
