Beauty Unsurpassed

I just came home from the grocery store, and a great Ani Difranco song (Half-Assed) was playing. As I pitched down the hill and rounded the corner onto my street, Ani sang the chorus:

Just show me a moment that is mine
Its beauty blinding and unsurpassed
Make me forget every moment that went by
And left me so half-hearted
Cuz i felt it so half-assed

and there before me, in the slanting late afternoon sunlight, were my girls playing happily together. Yes indeed.
