I just had a déjà vu - one of those moments when what you are doing/saying/hearing/seeing feels very familiar, like you've "already seen" that moment. I was typing an email for work, about coordinating between two timekeeping systems, listening to "In the Highways," from the "O Brother, where art thou?" soundtrack, and suddenly it all felt familiar.
I like that feeling; it makes me feel like I have intersected a moment of eternity - like I am in the right place, at the right time, doing the right things.
That probably sounds really superstitious, but it was such a nice peacefully familiar feeling that I thought I'd share.
A little something about me
- Margaret
- college town, Upper midwest, United States
- Sometimes late at night I break into song. And in recognition of that whole it's - really - too - late - for - anyone - to - expect - me - to - be - rational thing, I typically preface my musical rendition with, "That reminds me of a song...and it goes a little something like this." And so, when the mood strikes me, or the hour is late enough ;) , here is where I'll break into the silly songs of my childhood, the pseudo-intellectual ramblings of my grad student-hood, the haphazard mutterings of my single-hood, the philosophical musings of my female-hood, the inspirational babblings of my human-hood, the frazzled sputterings of my junior high French teacher-hood. So world, this is me. These are my thoughts, this is my life. And it goes a little something like this...

I love those moments too! They do the same for me! I always feel like if nothing else at that moment I'm at the right place doing the right thing! How cool! I'm glad you felt that way!
Love you tons!!
that's so funny. J thinks exactly the same thing about deja vu... that it means he is in the right place at the right time. I always think it means I have sort of transcended time at some point during my dreams or daydreams...
It is always a relieving feeling to know you are on the right track. I wonder how many other people feel the same way, out of those that believe in an eternal scheme and those that don't.
