so much beauty in the world*

Ricky says:"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 this little kid begging me to play with it. For 15 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 that there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video is a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me to remember, and I need to remember. Sometimes there is so much beauty in the world I feel like I can’t take it, like my heart’s going to cave in "

Lester says: "I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... and then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life..."
