Moments

There is a certain sense that you get sometimes. Small, clarifying moments when everything seems right in the world and you take a step back to admire and enjoy the peacefulness of a room, a place or a scene.
I am now in the midst of the calm comfort of PhotoMarket at Fotografiska. I talk about this place a lot; partially becuase I do preform here from time to time but also becuase this place generates a sense of togetherness, of acceptance.
Earlier I was talking to the very talanted Joyce Tenneson who had listen to our preformance both yesterday and today. We talked about this place and its atmosphere. How enlightened and happy it makes you feel but it also flows with creativity and urges people to feel creativity. It doesn't discriminate or judge, you are not more or less. Here you just are who you are and that is fine.
We talked about talent and how the drive and passion usually lies in the will to affect change; in one person or millions. How you want to make people feel what you feel, how you want to make a difference in some way, large or small.

There's a beauty to this moment I am in. It affects me by just being. After having preformed and indulged in meaningful conversations, the meeting of great minds with even greater hearts. This is a moment to remember, to re-visit, to love.
It is a simple but rare moment and it makes me remember what I want out of life and myself. What I aspire to and for and why I do need and want to do what I love.
