words look weird

you know when you look at a word and it looks wrong, weird, strange. You know it is spelled the same, but just this once it offends your eyes, seems out of place. You could have sworn it didn't look like that, wasn't spelled like that. but you know it is, so you shrug and move on. an example would be pointless; the word would look normal to you :)

on a grassy bank, an autumn chill, there's noone around and I meditate in the darkness. the occasional sound of a dog taking his owner for a walk or whichever way round these things happen. I look at the stars, just as many times before. And suddenly a great sense of height, a fear of falling. I truly sense the distance and I feel scared.

maybe these two things are the same - a brief vision of truth through a parting of the clouds of normality and comfort
