that moment

for piano

about

"Life is made up of a series of moments woven together to form a delicate tapestry of experience. Many moments seem insignificant: steam rising from a hot cup of coffee, the wind rustling the leaves, a spider in the corner of your window. You won't remember those moments when you're at the end of the line, but they make up the backdrop to the main narrative of your life.

Then there are the moments you do remember — significant moments that set the mood at major points in your life's story: your mother holding you in her arms, your friend offering you words of encouragement, a kiss from your beloved. Those are the moments that define you."

— Eli Tausen á Lava
