the utmost clarity

Nearly every day, for exactly 7 minutes and 42 seconds, my mind is filled with the most insightful, revealing, witty, humorous, intelligent, touching thoughts, outlined in the utmost clarity. And during that time I am so taken back by the amazing and beautiful nature of this planet, the human mind, and the entire universe that I am immobilized. When it is over, my first thought is to write down what I’ve learned. Yet, my mind no longer understands and I am left with only fragments. They, too, are soon forgotten.
