What’s the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen or experienced in your life?


Going eastbound down SR 154, crossing Rend Lake in Southern Illinois. It was morning and I started across the roadway just as the sun crested the horizon and my God, it was the most beautiful sunrise I've ever seen.
The sky was purple black, like a bruise, behind me.. but ahead, I had the most beautiful visage of pinks and reds and oranges as the light from the sun lit the world from edge to edge. The clouds were feathered so perfectly to highlight the colors and it was just so breathtaking.
Even better, the lake was still and flat like cut glass; a mirror to reflect from below the masterpiece from the heavens. I was alone on the road this day, I could've been the last person alive on the planet and I would've been okay with that. This was my sunrise, just for me, and let me tell you I soaked that first ray up like sweet water. The flash of warmth on my face as the warm morning currents from the open window buffeted my beard, it was beyond description.
I'm not religious but that moment there, that was almost enough to make me a believer, to think such beauty is sheer chance is astronomical. Surely an intelligent hand contributed to that. It really made my entire week. To this day, I take that road when I can, just to hopefully catch another glimpse of that glory.
What about you, Breanna?
Getting up early to watch a sunrise over the ocean on an Oahu beach. So peaceful. So quiet.
@abc3643 I'm glad you can vouch for me then! Lol
@Breanna_nonbinary funny a sunset can be beautiful from any side of the world, isn't it? Beach Sunrises can be mega refreshing, ita the only part of vacations I enjoy.
I have to admit that when I woke up and saw the Grand Canyon for the first time around sunrise, my mind was blown.
Later that same day, I saw the giant meteor crater in Arizona - that, too, was very impressive.
Niagra Falls is pretty cool too.
Sea world. The whales back up to either side of the pool. Two girls put their feet on their snouts. Then the whales race at a blinding speed at each other. Just when you think the girls' heads' will crash, the whales breach and do back flips, as do the girls. It's beyond amazing. But meerkats are so funny. They play all day long. But they take turns working. Their job is to watch for hawks and eagles.

But their work shift only lasts for about 30 seconds, and then the new shift takes over. It makes you wonder how they plan it. Do they make a work schedule? Is it a spreadsheet? Google sheets? But they have a net over their environment, so eagles and hawks can't get them. But I think they don't trust the net. I don't blame them, because an eagle once stole my sandwich. I don't trust eagles or hawks. They're shifty buggers.
These last few years when I watch a video of a moving object like a car driving from the perspective of the driver, I feel like I'm actually there. I like the visual experience of seeing moving objects as if I'm actually there, for example - when videographers film pets using skateboards and travel beside them filming or when athletes film dogs skiing downhill and you get the experience of downhill skiing too. It's super cool.

Watching my kids being born was my first choice but I guess running my first marathon. It was a major marathon with people lined up on both sided of the street for the whole 26 miles.. At the last 100 yards there were thousands of spectators yelling and screaming. It was amazing.
Other than of course giving birth to our two absolutely precious children.
Probably standing/walking on the Great Wall of China and going inside the Pyramids of Giza (Egypt).
Tied between sailing into Hong Kong harbour at sunrise or sailing into Sydney harbour.
It might not be as amazing, but I liked how last summer we took a trip, and I went sailing for the first time. I had good shrimp linguine after that and ice cream.
Sailing is an amazing experience. Especial the first time.
I didn't get sick. I just stood and held on.
It’s more fun to do things to sail. Like steering and helping keep the sails taunt. Makes you feel like you’re harnessing the power of nature.

Probably a very boring answer, but I never get over seeing cities and landscapes from an aircraft.
Being in a car wreck and having the white light thing but I was very angry to the white light and told God I hate him for all I have been through. Then going back to my body and laughing my ass off that I said that to God.
When in Paris, I want to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and no one else would go. Spectacular view of all of Paris.
over looking the Grand Canyon
Nice. I haven’t gone to see it yet.
Both the beauty of this world, and the extent of human stupidity and cruelty.
Anything specific?
I'll speak to the beauty and forget the stupidity, which is ubiquitous. I've seen all kinds of beauty in nature, from mountain forests with rivers and lakes, volcanoes, incredible beaches and crystalline waters to the Northern Lights, canyons like the Grand Canyon, Bryce, and bio-luminescent bays on the island of Vieques.
my kids being born... It gave me a whole new respect for women watching her go through labor and delivery.
Besides that?
My dreams actually. Nothing in life has been "as it should be" like in my best dreams.
If it's not pussy, then pan cakes and maple syrup tastes pretty good.
Why can't someone talk about their child being born? I guess being "non-binary" has it's price.
That’s rude.
The glacier national park in Alaska was amazing 😁
I watched a local production of The Producers on a whim, most I laughed in years.
My first kiss.
Frist time saw a Binky
Adderall powder drizzled down her ass crack.
Shrooms.
Having sex with older women is great experience
