in 'ever after' (which was an enjoyable romp through visual fairytaleland), our herione makes it to the ball, dressed like an angel (if you had leonardo da vinci on your side, you'd look like an angel too. but seriously, the costume was an angel one) and is standing at the entrance to the ball-place (park.hehe). its a beautiful frame; she is dressed in white and there is a backlight that is making her gauzy, shimmery wings glow (very angel-y, very pretty)...and somewhere in the crowd is a prince who is nuts about her (and she him, otherwise this wouldn't be a fairytaleland story), a step-family who is about to be royally (pun not intended) hand-fied and a life that is about to change forever (yay, she deserved a fantastic good-twistinlife). and she says to herself, 'just breathe.'which is the best piece of advice i've ever heard anyone give themselves, because its true. when gloriousgreatgood things happen, it's the first thing you forget to do, and once you remember, just about the only thing you can...because everything else is brimming over with a glorious idontknowwhatexactly (its a joyous something, in any case). kind of like a sponge you are then, because you know that you will always remember every detail about these moments, so that when memory recreates them it will be like they happened yesterday. i paint them in vivid technicolour on the walls of my mind.
all righty then. what is the gloriousgreatgood thing that has sparked off this rambly brackety blog, you ask?
