Small luxuries

Sunday mornings, tea, soulful music, bliss, and the desire to write. Somethings just go well together.

It is not possible to sustain perfection, but it is possible to achieve it in small measures, in confined spaces. Small miracles.

The beauty of small miracles is that they are so much more likely to return.

The big, miraculous moment that you work towards all your life might be unimaginably blissful, but once you've lived it, it's done. It's like Buzz Aldrin landing on the moon. It must have been an amazing experience, but he never lived it again. The rest of his life must consist in large measures about the memory of that experience and perhaps a desire to experience it again.

But if you think of a quite Sunday morning as a small miracle you're content in the knowledge that you can enjoy not just this one, but that you also have many more lined up. That's true luxury.

Of boxes and outsides

Thinking outside the box is an exhortation at many a business meetings.

The implication being of course that there is something better outside the box than there is inside. There is also the tacit admission that it basically sucks inside the box - hence the need to think outside of it.

But the question is: if the box is such a bad place, why do we stay in the box in the first place ?

Silly Love Songs.....

"You'd think that people would have had enought of silly love songs.
But I look around me and I see it isn't so.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
And what's wrong with that? "

Absolutely nothing !
