Divine

While visiting a friend in Parma, Italy, I came across these voluptuous vines. A few hours earlier we shared a half-bottle of chianti, with a magnificent pizza and then this sublime setting. "How good does life get?" I thought to myself- good friendship, good food, amidst nature's sublime magic. Yes, the air lifted and tempted me with its sweet fragrance, inviting me to observe these ripened berries up close. How tender and innocent the moment, as the afternoon rays peeked through the cooling clusters, like streams of angels.


Taking this photograph brought me peace and joy for I knew that I would have it with me for years to come. Whenever life's rhythm would rock to and fro, this image would soothe and remind me of how good life really is.
