“A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity. When for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. It’s as though it had all just come into existence.
I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.”

 

It was watching "A Single Man" and listening to these words that made me think of you. It is the human connection that we shared. Stolen moments. Feelings and thoughts and ideas that just don't come along every day of your life. It is in those moments when I felt so alive, so fresh and it all became more present. Simple things, such as receiving an e-mail, following a link to a song, a photo.

It's moments like those that you can't describe in words - they are the greatest. It's the feelings that they bring in you. These moments play the strings of your soul like a beautiful violin.

I'm sorry for the e-mail, but I wouldn't have been able to bare the thought of "what if...", so I had to write it.
