The Content of a Moment
Shhhh…be quiet or you’ll miss it.
It is here. It is happening right now. That thought…that scent…that image…that feeling…that sound. This moment will never come again in the same way. One breath and it is gone.
Too often we race through this world, missing those finite moments that we can never get back. Today, I had the rare opportunity to enjoy some moments of silence. No cell phones, no television, no talking…just the white noise of the air conditioning. It was comfortable to just sit with my thoughts. Many things came and went in those moments…ideas, plans, memories, and regrets. I enjoyed their company and was glad they stopped in for a visit.
Loud music interrupted as my cell phone rang. The world outside my mind demanded my attention, and in a breath I said goodbye to the silence. I wonder what the next moment will bring…
