Elegance of the Hedgehog

Our life is made up of moments. Of scenes when time slows down and you find yourself engulfed with an overwhelming feeling-- of sadness, of gratitude, or of melancholy.

Today, I had such moment.
While reading the last pages of a book.

Camellias. From hence on forward, I will dream of Camellias; and of the sun on one's shoulder. And the beauty and incredulity of life... and of death.

Thank you to a dear colleague for recommending this book.
Thank you for allowing me to have a moment.
Really.
Thank you.
