A NEARLY Perfect moment ...

On the CD player is title track of "Stablemates" from
the Early Trane CD set I bought yesterday.
.
In my hand is a fine coffee picked up from
the coffee shop in town,
where as I step in the door,
my morning coffee:
Prairie Blend, Black Xrta-Large,
it is poured and then offered with a friendly smile
and a warm hello by the beautiful staff
BEFORE I even have to ask ...
.
(I was late getting there today - THEY noticed)
.
... and as I sat savouring the coffee, the music,
and this extra-ordinary moment I read:
.
In America, the first generation out of slavery
invented Jazz music. It is a free-form expression.
It comes from the soul, and it is TRUE!
.
In this moment, listening to Coltrane,
it's hard to argue ... it's moment to savour
and to linger in ...
