Is it possible to explode from pure joy?
Because if it is I feel like I should warn the people sitting next to me.
I might. just. explode!
Maybe this is what Elizabeth felt like when John leaped in her womb (Luke 1) at the presence of Christ; like what was inside could barely be contained but even if it did "escape" it wouldn't be painful or scary or anything we associate with sudden events. But more so the most beautiful expression of elation, too much for all known vocabulary.
Only a joyful noise could suffice.
Being uncontrollably emotional is typically an undesirable quality, but this...this is too good.
I'M SO HAPPY TO BE IN AMERICA!!!! I'm in the Dallas airport, somewhere I've never been before, and the 5 hour layover hasn't dampened my spirit at all. My face is uncontrollably glowing and unapologetic laughing escapes my lips.
What a joyful state (of being, not specifically Texas, although I'm sure it's a fine place)!
The plane ride from Australia to Dallas was quite long; I wasn't very tired so I was up all but four sporadic hours:
4 full length movies
7 sitcom episodes
1 THS documentary
and 2 partially viewed unentertaining movies
Productive flight, hey?
Well, that's all for now.
I just wanted to let you know what took place just in case I do in fact explode.

It’s a feeling inside that can hardly be contained."
