"Walking slowly away, Siddhartha realized he was a youth no longer; he had become a man. He realized that something had left him, the way a snake's old skin leave it"(Hesse 33).
"Siddartha raised his eyes and looked about. Asmile filled his face, and a profound sense of awakening from a long dream coursed through him down to his toes, At once he began to walk again, now taking hurried steps like a man who knows what he must do"(Hesse 34).
"From this moment when the world around him melter away and left him as solitar as a star in the sky, from this morning of cold and despondency, Siddhartha emerged, more firmly Self than before, solidified"(Hesse 37).
An awkening moment I have had took place in San Diego. I was playing soccer and when we walked out to the filed I saw the scouts watching the gmaes and looking over the field was the ocean. It was serieal moment. The perfect sceneary and realizing playing college could be an option for me at a top school, made me feel alive and that dreams are actually achievable.
I had an awakening moment just a week ago. I herd my baby cousin, Cashton, was sick in the hospital. I saw a picture of him with tubes in his nose helping him breathe. It turns out that he wasnt that bad and was just having trouble breathing, but was easily taken care of and is ok now. But seeing that picture and not knowing what was going on was awakening moment, and made me think of how precious life really is.
