What have you seen that shook you to your foundations...

...and you don’t know why?

For me, it was Picasso’s Woman Ironing. It is, after all, by Picasso, who is considered great for a reason.

I came upon it unexpectedly in the museum and the painting reached out and seized me by the shoulders and would not let me go. Oblivious to any who might have thought me a fool or demented, I stood there and wept.

I still could not give you reasons. It just touched where I lived.

Yours?

She was a Russian woman. If ever I were to believe in love at first sight it would have been for her. It ended very badly, but it left me changed. I would say beyond that, music can shake me to the core on first listen but visually I'm pretty hard to impress to THAT degree.

@Icantsoishant That happened to my brother once, a half century ago. They never even met, but he speaks of her to this day.

And it’s a shame your name swapped end for end isn’t true of all of us. ‘I shan’t so I can’t’ would solve SO many problems.
