"But sometimes... and not very often... sometimes we'd get glimpses of the truth.
We'd see someone across a crowded room at the prom and our heart would stop. Our thoughts about ourselves would disappear and it felt like we were in heaven. What was happening? Were we falling in love?
Maybe what really stopped at that moment wasn't the heart. What if what stopped was just all those thoughts? All those thoughts that were headed for the future or else going into the past.
What if when the truth (beauty) is glimpsed those thoughts fall away? And love is just the beauty arising out of feeling the here and now. "
Right Now p. 172, Steve Chandler
(The John Keats quote Steve refers to in the interview is:
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty--that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know."
