makes me think of some lyrics - everything is not enough, nothing is too much to bear.

"merely swooned" completely correct...

Perspective is everything, horror to one, is beauty to another. ;) xomo

Sweet. Maureen this is so both visual and heartfelt at the same time. I am no empath but certainly swooned. Thank you always for your wonderful reads Maureen.

I've always had a strong sense of empathy, a reader of body language (why I'm good with dogs) but with my central nervous system as hopped up as it is I have reached a new level. With my brain "flooding", all senses are intensified; I was already awe struck to begin with ;) Thank you my friend, xomo!

Good description. My cousin is an empath for no reason all of a sudden she is passed out on the floor.

I believe it; I knew someone who could not watch thriller films in the theatre, as he would pass out from mere power of suggestion.
