Cat-astrophes

Have you ever come across a sight that brought you to tears? Maybe because it was so sad, maybe because it was so beautiful. I find that images move me easily...maybe its because I"m more visual than anything else. Still images can move me, and film even more so...for this reason I hate war movies...I can't emotionally deal with them - I bawled from the beginning to the end of Saving Private Ryan...and Black Hawk Down...not to mention countless others.

Lately though I've been bombarded with a flood of beautiful words. Words that have just pierced my heart and brought me to a mushy mess. I mean people have said lovely things to me before that made me become overwhelmed with emotion, but these are words that are just so touchingly breathtaking that they leave me misty and speechless.

So this is where I write examples, right?

Actually, no...the most beautiful thing about words is, like an improvised song, the note is sounded and then it melts away. The extent of its beauty seems to only exist not only in the essence of its sound and its meaning, but in its timing, context and delivery.

I can't do a song like that justice on a blog.

So I say go and collect the music for yourself.
