This has probably been done ten fold but I care none. I want to hear from people what the most beautiful moment(s) in their life is. We've all had our "wonder of a baby's smile" or "hooker's lazy eye" moments before but who am I to judge, they are your moments.
This is kind of unrelated but I just wanted to share it anyway. I remember Method telling us his most romantic moment (in lieu of being called an insensitive asshole) of when he and his girlfriend were driving somewhere, got lost, and never made it to their destination. So what they did was park the car on the side of the road and danced together in the headlights for who knows how long. I just wanted to give him props on that, I was thinking about that not too long ago and how great that story was.
For me my most beautiful moment was when I bought the Queen live at Wembly Stadium dvd. The exact instance was when they played "Radio Ga-Ga" during the "all we hear is <clap clap> radio ga ga <clap clap> etc." sections. Watching on a huge screen on 4 15" speakers blasting the show at my head, I sat on the edge of my seat with my fists clenched tight as can be, staring in awe of over a hundred thousand people with their hands raised to the afternoon sky, singing along at the top of their lungs, clapping in time, trying with all their might to push as much energy as possible back to the 4 genius men on the stage in front of them. Watching Freddy Mercury effortlessly guide and conduct his loyal followers together was like seeing god himself appear to his earth with every living creature ecstatic to be alive and trying to show their love of life itself. I sat and watched in amazement and tried to imagine what it would have felt like to have been at the show; to be a part of the wonder of a hundred thousand people giving it all their energy together as one to show their love for four human beings that touched and enlightened their lives. The sheer awesomeness of the whole thing was so much for me to take in that I began to cry. I sat with my gripping the sides of the chair with tears streaming down my face so enthused and enthralled with emotion that I couldn't move for the next two songs. The last time I cried was when I watched the video for Johnny Cash's "Hurt." (before that I hadn't cried since my friend died when I was 16) That time it was because the painful emotion relayed was again too much for me but this time it was pure happiness and endless energy. I'll never forget that moment.
That is my most beautiful moment, now it is your turn. I know that (if anyone reads this: I have to stop posting between 2 and 5am) Uber folks will have some truly great moments. I hope you enjoyed mine.

Hi Banga. My greatest moment was finding that hole in the ice and being able to swim for it; either that or when I had been pulled out of the water. We were all going home. Thank you.

Not bad. Music can stir up some powerful emotions.
But you were watching the show on DVD, you weren't actually there.

That man is one of the all time great entertainers. Don't much like the music, but his stage presence was phenomenal.

Humm, this is a tough question as I've been blessed with several beautiful
moments in my life. The one that stands out the most is the story of my grandmother.
I was very close to my "nana" and when she died it was a very difficult time for me.
We had a Memorial Service for her at our Protestant Church and I sang. Although it was a very sad time, as I was looking over the balcony at the entire congregation, the sunshine
was coming through the stained glass window and I knew then that my nana was in a better place. It was just a beautiful moment and one that I will never forget.

My most beautiful moment was about a year and a half after the worst heartbreak I've ever known. I'd felt so unwanted and so alone for so long.
I drove to the top of a mountain and watched a thunder and lightning storm. It was beautiful. I often drove up there to think, sulk, relax, write. But this night was perfect.
It was raining hard. I turned off the car and the radio. I listened to the storm. I thought for a long time about a lot of things. I realized something I'd never thought of before.
I am alone. I've always been alone. I always will be. Even if all my friends move away or if they stay; if I die alone as "The Cat Lady" or if I find my one true love and am perfectly happy...
I'll be alone. There's a sense of that which will never go away. I'm the only person who knows me. It's not a bad thing, but a peaceful thing. The weight that this realization hit me with was so powerful that I couldn't do anything but cry. I got out of my car and sat on the hood in the rain. I had mixed thoughts about why I was crying. After that, things have been different.
