Visceral: Obtained through intuition rather than from reasoning or observation.
I went running in the rain yesterday. Nothing can beat the experience of being outside and experiencing the visceral feel of all your senses informing you of the world. Being outside, is a way for me to connect to myself, to meditate, to smooth out the rough edges. There's something about movement that allows this to happen. As I see the world this way, up close and personal, and with no barriers between me and the experience, I am always struck by moments of complete awe.
It makes me feel sad for all those people, working out in the gym, running endlessly to nowhere, eyes glued to a television screen. They're missing out on so much.
