The late Spaulding Gray described "a perfect moment". A perfect moment is when life is inexorably sweet and generally over before you can capture it on the teeny tiny camera on your overly tricked-out cell phones.
Here are a few examples of mine:
1. A year ago I was skiing by myself on a windless, cloudless day. The view of the lake was ethereal and I was struck at how lucky I was to be right there, right then.
2. Two years ago we were stuck at Tahoe an extra day and night when a blizzard came in. I had cabin fever so I put on my ski clothes, including helmet and goggles, and walked outside. I lay on my back on a bench outside the nearby pizza joint and caught snowflakes on my tongue.
3. It's the first taste of fresh peach ice cream in the summer.
Have you experienced this?
