'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 life.'
-from American Beauty by Alan Ball
