Or rather, I have been trying to make sense of a moment J and I shared in which the universe went upside down, and not figuratively, but actually. We were standing together in a hallway of a lounge where I worked at the time, and we stood there and I had this strange sensation of gravity giving way and that I was actually upside down, but more than upside down I felt a swelling in the air pressure. Although it is hard to describe with the language at my disposal. It lasted several seconds, long enough for me to really feel the discombobulation. At that moment we were both staring at each other, and then in unison we asked each other the same questions "did you feel that?" And we both felt the same thing. I have to differentiate this from some "falling in love, gaze type shit" because I've had those with other men and with J. This was physical and intimate with the entire universe. Usually those gazes are personally intimate, an exchange between you and the other person. This wasn't that at all... it was like the universe at that moment had one of those ruptures of expansion - like a growing pain. We felt something outside of us together. This happened shortly after we first met. And way before I knew Evangelion, or even delved into philosophy and so on. Please write more Mitsu.
