What's your mystical, magical experience?

My most 'wow to be on the planet moment' was climbing an active volcano in Java at 3am in the morning in the middle of nowhere, with only starlight to light the way. It's only the second time I've seen the milky way in such detail, then watching the sunrise with the smell of sulphur and warm glow underfoot.

Flying around Everest in a small plane at 7am is pretty impressive as well.

when i was 18 i worked for an aerial crop spraying company, and one of the local farmers had a french Nord training plane circa 1950 and he would let my boss take it for a spin from time to time and one day he asked me if i wanted to go up and do some aerobatics, no funfair ride was ever the same again it was truly amazing.

High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
