Have you ever been alive in perfect moment? Have you ever experienced a perfect moment? Have you ever had a moment that was so alive with love, beauty, and power that you were in awe of it, you did not want it to end, and you knew it would live you for a lifetime?
I hope to manage to describe such moments to you such that you are able to feel them, taste them, and experience them. You have probably already had these kinds of experiences.
These are moments when you know you are in the presence of beauty that has exceeded your fantasies of imagination. They are those times when the earth seemed to stop turning and all of creation was yours for the moment.
It was when someone special to you told you that they loved you for the first time and lights and bells and fireworks went off inside you and you did not want the moment to end. It is like meeting someone in the line at the bank, at the store, or traveling and your meeting makes your blood pressure rise and your skin tingle. You have an awareness of only yourself and the moment – the event you are experiencing that you don’t want to end.
Someone could be yelling your name at the top of the voice and you would not be able to hear. In this moment, there is total focus. There is clarity. Life is worth living after all and it has been discovered in a moment.
This can be the experience of witnessing birth, seeing a loved one graduate from university, getting married, finishing an important project, watching a sunrise or sunset, buying a new car or a house, or the right someone saying thank you, or I love you. If you have ever read a love letter more than once or looked at an old picture to feel a memory, you know what I am talking about.
In the Star Trek, the Next Generation film, INSURRECTION, a lead character by the name of Anij (AH -neeeggh) teaches Capt. Jean Luc – Picard how to experience a moment. She has lived for more than 300 years in the prime of her life. She has learned how to harness the power privilege of the moment.
In a moment alone with the captain, she says to him, “No more questions, no more words. Feel this. Experience this”.
All around him took on an ecstatic beauty and he is alive to a powerful moment’s love that no longer knows hunger or want. The moment alone satisfies.
He sees waterfalls slowed down. He sees a hummingbird slowed down. He sees flower literally pollinate the air with fragrances that can be touched and felt. The joy of touch and experience was enhanced because she taught him to experience the beauty, the power, and the love of a moment.
Not so very long ago, I had two such moments in the same afternoon. I had the notion I must be doing something right for two of these time stopping moments to happen in the same day. What follows is my best ability to describe those experiences to you. Stepping Through The Light
Stepping through the light
brown creamed silk
dressed in white.
Amazon beauty
wings above the ground,
power excited to love.
A never ending
ocean filled western sky
at sunset evening,
As far as love’s heart
can imagine
for an eternal moment.
Stepping through the light
brown creamed silk
dressed in white.
As you are blessed to be alive in your special moments, be the blessing of a special moment to someone else.
