Can I feel the essence of life?

I’m not really sure about that, but I was standing outside and it was quiet, I only were able to hear the “life” around me.

It was overwhelming and beautiful together, I wasn’t searching for any spiritual enlightenment nor I had taken anything, it was just a moment of that - what I guess e.g. Eckhart Tolle calls “being in the Now”.

I felt thankful to be alive and so was able to recognize it.
