So there is light at the end of the tunnel!

The last two days were memorable and I totally refuse to let go of their memory and just file them away.

Yesterday I stood before a place I've seen so many times in my dreams and was convinced was just a product of my wild and restless imagination. It's nothing fancy, just a lakeshore with trees and the lake extending toward the horizon -- but it's one of those things you keep searching for your entire life, only to find approximations of, until the very day, minute and moment when you just find yourself standing before it and you know that is the exact thing you were looking for. Same for me, yesterday I just walked to the very same place I've seen in my dreams all these years.
I was actually walking down an alley (and I knew I was near the lake) when I suddenly stopped (my soul actually stopped me as if I had reached a preset destination -- boy, it was such a long time since I've received any data on that path) and looked to the right and there it was. Pixel for pixel, feature for feature ... even the histogram was the same! So I wasn't crazy all this time, hmm, good :-)

Today I had more than 100km and 8h of pure pleasure. I had the perfect [motor]bike ride, the perfect weather, perfect tea and lunch, perfect company, perfect conversation -- not to mention the inner benefits of all that (you know, the "ideas are great because if Alice and Bob both have an idea and then they meet and talk about their ideas, they will both leave home with two ideas" story).
I'm still shaking with shivers and my mind is shaking electrified inside and my soul is shaking enchanted inside too. Wow, I think I've lived today more than in the last 4 years. That's good news, because it means I'm still alive (despite some evidence to the contrary)!
I'm lost for words for now, but will probably recover quickly, especially given the kind of kick I've just been subjected to :-)
