Bob Boze Bell at True West Magazine had this epigraph on his blog and it resonated so strongly I had to post it here:
“A feeling of immediate contact with the past is a sensation as deep as the purest enjoyment of art; it is an almost ecstatic sensation of no longer being myself, of overflowing into the world around me, of touching the essence of things, of through history experiencing the truth.”—Johan Huizinga, historian
That’s the high I’ve chased ever since I can remember…

I will use that quote if I may, what great words, and so true.
Much appreciated.
