I have described the feeling as a pulsation, a throbbing, a flowing in every pore and cell in my body, a rush of circular winds through the Universe.... It feels as if I couldn't exist without this connection. It has been my friends, my companion, and my ally for my entire life and it is more intimate than my very breath. It causes me to shudder from the power, to feel elation from the emotions contained on its imprint, and to breathe in the sweet scent of Life with every moment that passes.
It is my strength, my weakness, my joy, my sadness, my Life.
....But, what does the Force feel like to you?

You've asked a question that's actually kind of hard to answer with any one description. I'd describe it as being a combination of emotions and energy situations combined... the joy felt on Christmas morning, the uneasiness felt when walking through the dark wilderness without a light, like someone following you down an alley, or someone you love giving you a long look. Like grabbing live electrical wires and falling on a feathered bed. Like sitting in the front seat of a rollercoaster and drifting down a raft on a slow moving river. Like being blinded by the flash of a camera while blowing out birthday candles. Like seeing a friend you haven't seen in 10 years holding the hand of a hated enemy. Salt and sugar mixed together in kettle corn. Falling off a ledge in a dream only to realize you're laying in bed. Seeing something out of the corner of your eye and realizing that you can't see it when you look directly on. Like flying in a dream and knowing that you are free. Like hearing a wolf howl in the distance, then hearing the rest of the pack join in. Like the laughter of a child who's just realized he can bonk his head on the wall. Like the cries of a newborn baby bringing tears of happiness to everyone within earshot. Like eating a batch of shrooms and trying to solve a complex math problem. Like feeling your way through a house in the dark, knowing that you know where everything is placed.

No matter what description I give, it will be incomplete and inaccurate. But, basically, it feels like I'm light as a feather and could float on the wind; like the "I" could drown in joy and that light covers me like liquid honey; that my mind is opened to things I couldn't before imagine, and that I am filled with almost limitless understanding; and I feel incredibly powerful -- not in that I could overcome anyone else because in those moments I have absolutely no desire to, but rather that nothing and no one can overcome me. I feel an incredible "rightness" to everything -- good or bad -- in that each thing has its place and all is under control. And I feel loved -- wholly, completely, and unconditionally -- and not just connected to, but in complete communion with it; while I have full awareness of myself, I am also aware that I am completely part of something else, as if a cell in my body could be self-aware.
