When this happens, it certainly helps to put back some faith in humanity because it can get very dark out there..
There are certain things which affect us as a whole (on a physical, mental, and spiritual level) and I think we
know when this happens.
It's like we're connecting into something much bigger than what we can see or hear. Mediation is a way of connecting to the universe as is prayer. There are many ways to connect. I like it when I feel plugged into the bigger picture.
P.S if you're a loon, then so am I.
