Giant cockroach

Post que o Facebook me lembrou que fiz em 9 de abril de 2015...
Já tinha me esquecido, e por isto mesmo resolvi preservar aqui no blog...


This is one of the posts that I'd like that just people who, someway, somehow, care about me, would read.  So I'm starting with some bullshit blah blah blah in order to disguise the real subject; so only the people who click on the "see more" link will read the real subject of this post.
Was I having breakfast at the cafeteria when I'm suddenly hit by the thought - the feeling, the insight, would be better words - that... holy crap, it sounds silly, but, yes, that I am one with everything!  I felt like being able to relate with a cockroach, as a fellow living being, I felt like if I found myself transformed in a giant cockroach, it would be OK, I would not bother! :-) And at the same time I really felt that my body is composed by the same matter than the stars, that I am a part of the spinning suns that shine in the darkness of the Universe.  I could - almost - feel dizzy with the spin of the Earth and the Sun! And all this made me deeply moved, feeling a great happiness, an... ecstasy! The better I can put it in words is "I'm just a spark in the void which will vanish in a blink of an eye - and this is so beautiful, makes me so happy, that this giant cockroach could even cry in happiness!" It was a feeling, a consciousness that I, this ephemeral spark, am at the same time the whole Universe!  
All this happening while I have my hamburger and people chat around me...  Come on, Santa Teresa's ecstasy in the cafeteria?! Am I insane?! I don't think so, I think that what happened is a well-known effect of little sleep (I even worked through a whole sleepless night) and lots of hard work: altered states of mind that lead to mystical experiences!
Well, that's it, I just wanted to share this!  It was... interesting!
Thanks for listening!
