The thing we long for,
That we are,
For one transcendent moment
James Russell Lowell, On Longing
Just had one!!...sitting in the hostel a song came on I know very well from a few years ago. Made me stop what I was doing and it took me completely out of my current situation. I become acutely aware of the moment. They're very special times and we all have them - unfortunately they are so short-lived! (Most people won't even realise). That's why I put the poem down on my skin - it's the thing we all long for...
