Beauty

Ricky Fitts: It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. And this bag was, like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in.

I feel that way a lot. Just that things are so beautiful. Too beautiful for me to be able to take it. I'll collapse under the weight of beauty. It'll crush me. It's overwhelming sometimes.

I need to remember.

If I could have control over anything (which I don't want) I'd want to be able to remember what I feel like right now.
