Moments

I am certain I was meant to meet many people. Fleeting moments in my little life that leave me with so much. Perhaps life is less about knowing many people well and more about learning a lot from strangers and delighting in others stories. Maybe they will always haunt you but your life wouldn't ever be the same if it weren't that way. I've had the privilege of meeting many colourful people. And I've also had very dark people come into my life and teach me about reality. 

It's all so beautiful. 
We get to play a part and we are all connected in some way.
Seek the glorious experience of being entwined with someone else's struggle or joy. Not to gain anything except the present moment.

This is what's up

"You could ink yourself until everyone knows all the things you love. You could wear uniforms that give you all the authority in the world. Lose weight until there is nothing left. Paint your face. Suck in your gut. But in the dark, stripped down to your bones, all that remains is you." 

I read this a long time ago and found it again today. A golden reminder.

> I watched this yesterday and cried at this courageous man and my heart was so much warmer knowing there are some people getting it right out there.*

*The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.


> I met the most lovely lot from Cape Town last week and some of which are in The Aztec Sapphire. Their sound is so fresh and I truthfully feel like they are going to take over the Cape Town music scene. Here's a new song they released recently. Listen to it. Mmmm.

> MORE LOCAL LOVE: Desmond and The Tutus. New video. 


Nice hey. I was there. If you watch carefully you can see little me for two seconds having a jive (2:45)
