You can’t find the words because what you’re trying to make of it doesn’t make sense. Try accepting that what is, is. This moment is this moment. Oh, now it’s gone, and now it’s this moment. Waves are waves. Wind is wind. Your feelings are your feelings

But…that doesn’t make sense to me.
I guess what I meant is that I thought I was connecting to some magic flowing in the world, and I’m worried it might have just been my imagination all along.
Most all people share these “experiences” of the wind and the waves.
Songs have been written about theses natural phenomena.
Perhaps you underestimate the capacity of people to “place themselves in your shoes”. Some arts appeal to some people , other arts appeal to other people, depending on associated memories.
Consider a crowd at a football game. The home crowd is often referred to as an extra player, giving the team a “homefield advantage”. his has nothing to do with actual reality, but it is an abstract concept that I’m sure you have seen before.
It would be a common experience of “mass-empathy”, just as there can be a common experience of “mass-hysteria”.
It all depends on the associated “past memories” associated with the “present situation”.

Both I guess. There is a difference in how I felt then versus now. Feeling the wind, the sound of trees, everything washing over. Though maybe I did add more to it based on some media I saw.
I guess to me it was magic, though maybe I was “enchanting” it in ways I never knew. My sister got annoyed that I got excited at ducks and squirrels because they’re ordinary but to me it’s still like the first time.
Welcome to the world of people. I’m sure she gets excited about something that most people don’t. The lesson there is, don’t suppress someone else’s joy and don’t let someone suppress your joy. Arguing about ducks bring exciting will not get you much of anywhere. Be the person who says, “I hear you. I hear that your feelings are different. I allow you to have your feelings. I’m curious about how you came to your conclusion about the value of watching ducks.”
Okay, you’re avoiding the question. Supernatural is just that, not natural, and I say, not real. Wonder is a result of our biology. It’s very real.
Well I did answer, I mentioned that it was both. Something personal but also something in the world like mana or some junk. Or the flow and rhythm of the wild.
Well by her own admission she is annoyed by a lot of things. Whenever I try to share things with her she has rather strong opinions and not in a good way.
Maybe I am overthinking all this but I don’t know how to stop. Is this one of those things that gets less clear the more you think about it? I never gave this much thought into emotions and the like and now that I am I’m in knots over it.
