Reminds me of the time I did 9 hours of crazy high speed driving in a blizzard, on closed highways..with this one on repeat the whole time:
(the last two minutes are missing, and those two minutes are what makes the 'flow' work.
We can get confirmation at times, and we did with this one, with some of you dreaming of the whole thing. (my crazy driving)(Which I love. It's a meditation of the 'now')
Why do we love this Inception bit so much? (1.3 million hits, so far)
Probably... we want the relief, we want the trueness of the knowing. We want out of the pressure, we want the mediation, the now in perfection, the escape, the leaving. To me, never mourn the dead, as when they are gone, they are, in that moment, more alive than you are now. To walk in the city, with that song on headphones, to ride the buses, the subways, to travel to the roofs of buildings, to catch the glint of the light, to feel the bustle of the night, to fly through them on wings of knowing and peace. Ah, there is not much like it. This the mercy and the peace the dead know, that we do not. Only the mediation of it can take us to it's edge. The relief from.... time.
To remember and be in it every day, that is one method that helps. to always take out the time.. to ... lose time. To find time gone, non existent. To take that past, and the projection to future, that search for reflection - to take that burden off.

It's all a nightmare. I wait for it to end. But this roller coaster I'm riding is too long of a ride. I've forgotten the minor uphills that determined how fast I'd go down. All I know is I want to get off this ride. Or at least enjoy it. It's beginning to be too much to bear. It's going to fast and too far down. And I've lost control. Sometimes I just wanna jump off. But I'm too afraid I'll hurt the passengers that I've rode the entire way with. The one's I've gotten to connect with. I don't know how the rest of this roller coaster will be like. And I don't know how it will end. All I can do is wait. And brave through. Make the best of it. I refuse to chicken out. I'll face the fears of the roller coaster. And stay with those passengers for as long as I can.
