Bursting into spontaneous tears....

Martha — 2/27/2007 1:14:43 PM (archived)

happened for me when I was at a park in Orlando, late at night. The orange blossoms permeated the air...it was 80 degrees...I heard faint music wafting in and out...laughter...and I was moved to tears in an instant.
I was 20....I was plugged in to the moment.
