>>5562125http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pwc0klMRSQI was driving down the interstate last summer, and a feeling struck me cold. In that moment, I felt like I had passed myself on the highway, heading the other direction. It was a glimpse of myself in an alternate universe... a world in which I had, for some reason, abandoned all compromises, abandoned peace, abandoned my pursuit of old age. I saw a man with a gun on his lap and a few thousand dollars loosely thrown about in the floorboard. He was a wild thing - and death was never more than an hour behind him, hot on his heels.
I felt sympathy, instinctively, but I was wrong. The man I saw had truly forgotten fear. Every breath of air was his last. To him the sky was a brilliant blue, resplendent in hues I could never behold... Meanwhile he looked back me... He saw his alternate self... Driving home in the afternoon traffic.
And the moment passed.
If you gaze long into the mirror... be careful. Heisenberg might catch a glimpse of you.
