It was as if the seams of our atmosphere split for a bit of heaven to plunge into the sea. I stood and applauded simultaneously. I wanted to kneel and weep. Yes, that's it. All I want to do is validate those irreplaceable moments. Lift any obstacle you may have to filling your life with greater and greater amounts of beauty. We need not fear indulging here. The experience of beauty is unique to all the other pleasures in this. There is no possessive quality to it

And the story of this painting is so dense in terms of switching owners and being stolen and going through the World War II tragedies. And just having the opportunity to see this painting, like, afoot for me was incredible. And I was just washed over by the beauty. And it really was kind of a reminder of the importance of being surrounded by things that inspire us. So even that picture you have of books and us connecting to that world of beauty is amazing
