seeing one in anyone

I took a train into nyc last night and I was struck by how much i loved the feeling of being around so many people at the same time in close proximity. When I got off the train and we all had to squeeze into a narrow staircase to get up to ground level at the station, I felt everyone's...vulnerability. Someone could fall and it would make everyone else fall. I felt the boundaries dissolve as we were all pushed and squished together through the staircase tube until we got out into the great expanse of the station. I suppose this is something new yorkers take for granted and probably don't even think about, but its novel to me, and really struck me. Plus I am super sensitive to things like that, such as where my body ends and the space around me begins. I live a very suburban life, and am not usually in such physical closeness to strangers. I liked it alot and realized at the same time that I have a limited tolerance--I can only be in a city for a few hours before I feel sensationally overloaded. I think last night I remembered that I love people. I walked down the street and looked into as many faces as I could and tried to project my awareness that we are all connected. We are all different bodies living out our own specific version of the same thing, the One.
