Just Right



On a day when everything is just right, the rose opens, love expresses its hidden beauty and we embrace the joy of life.
In his novel Dr. Zhivago, Boris Pasternak writes:

     "He was so childishly simple that he did not conceal his joy at seeing her, as if she were some summer landscape of birch trees, grass, and clouds, and could freely express his enthusiasm about her without any risk of being laughed at."
   
The rose in this video above is part of the summer landscape. We watch something beautiful open slowly before us and it is a time to be grateful.
Again Pasternak reminds us:
    “When a great moment knocks on the door of your life, it is often no louder than the beating of your heart, and it is very easy to miss it.”  

  Love also opens slowly and softly. The sweetness of this rose is heard in the music of the Ahn Trio.     
“Dies Irie,” ironically references not the traditional Requiem Dies Irae but the Jamaican patois phrase meaning, “Day of Everything Being Just Right.” Even rage evaporates into sweetness and beguiling rhythms.
