#SBF:MASTERPIECE

Sunny Spring Afternoon by Bob Long Jr Via Flickr: “We do not remember days, we remember moments” ~ Spanish philosopher Cesare Pavese. I have used this quote before; I will use it again. It is something I live by. ~ View On Black www.youtube.com/watch?v=wThV51EnDB8 ~ "Twilight World" - Marian McPartland. It was simply too nice a day to be in the office. So, I drove around. When I do – drive around – I usually find myself by some water. Some days we feel so much more exquisitely alive than others. Some days, we are so deeply in the moment, so aware of everything, that we feel as if we may explode into our atoms at the incredible power of it all. The connection we feel to life, to the earth, to the universe is so succulent, so intense as to be overwhelming. Could we jump for joy, hysterically laugh and fall down to our knees and thank God we are alive at the top of our voices – and not get locked up for it – we most surely would. We wish we could capture this feeling forever. At this moment one knows and feels the value of life, the sanctity of life, the sheer joy of being alive, in this place, in this time – right now. For a little while, we understand – and feel more than we ever imagined - the peace and serenity and completeness that each book of religion, each tome of philosophy, each fiber of our soul tells us is truly, if only momentarily, possible . It feels as if it lasts an eternity: this moment. And, as we get older, each time we are blessed to feel it again, we savor it just a little bit more, suckle at its charms just a bit more energetically. We know how precious these moments are; how seldom they come; and how few remain. I can never express my thanks enough for such moments. I love you all; I feel you all: my fellow artists and seekers.
