THE PLEASURE OF OBSERVATION
As Fran Lebowwitz puts it,
it’s all about “the pleasure of
observation”. Get that and
you’ll understand the smile
on a grandparent’s face at
a violin recital or a wife’s
face as her husband dances
with their daughter at her
wedding – or a kid licking
her ice cream cone – being
the only person on the planet
for 3 full pleasurable moments,
around and around and around
on the merry-go-round called life.
