MOMENTS

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Mark Twain

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.¨ Anais Nin

Life in the recent past has been to say the least interesting and what has kept echoing in my mind is the fact that I am not sure how to cope or interpret these MOMENTS that have been very thematic and frequent.

Many people seem to have lives that develop some coordinated actions and emotions, some semblance of patterns, routines and dependable emotional experiences that have a atsrting point and grow through the nurturing actions and emotions by the person experiencing it all and possibly with others who share and co-create the experiences.

I have recently been having very very desirable and pleasant 'moments' especially onvolving others that are like selections of a song, excerpts from a film or abstracts from a book, that provide enough sensation to grip, involve and even stimulate the audience but is not the full experience. It is like seeing the trailer for a new and exciting movie that sticks you to your seat and you long to see the whole story but once the trailer is over leaving you with desire and suspense you are not sure if and how you should move on from that moment full of yearning and desire.

These moments are like fresh breezes that caress my hair, and face and then in a quick breath or two is gone and leaves the sentiment and the desire behind

When will a moment decide to endure........
