Moments

Come on in. There's some veggies and the skins are thrown back to get the last of this fresh air before winter really hits.

I want to talk to you about moments.

I want to speak of those times when you are the perfect you.

Maybe not the true you, maybe not the real you, but the perfect you.

I want to talk to you about moments.

That moment when you just know you're in the right place at the right time.

That moment when you can hear reality snap, and everything is so in focus, so on point, that you just feel unstoppable.

I want to talk to you about moments.

It could be when you're doing something physical, and the weariness just drops off, you body snaps to attention and you feel invincible.

It could happen when you're creating a piece of art, and you write the most perfect prose, rhyme, make that brush/pen/pencil stroke that you didn't so much plan as just do, and you know it will always stay with you as so incredibly beautiful.

I want to talk to you about moments.

Looking into your children's faces, seeing the unbelievable potential you've released into the world.

The moment when you realize it doesn't matter, just as long as you can love that person freely.

I want to talk to you about moments.

When a second wind hits, when the fever breaks, when time stops, when all the fear is gone and it's just you, and a grin takes your face so fiercely you're sure someone would claim your brain just snapped.

I want to talk to you about moments.

And the reality is those moments are just our body releasing all the hormones and chemicals that make us feel good, feel right, feel unstoppable.

But.

I want to talk to you about moments.

It's those moments you are the perfect you.  The fearless you.  The unstoppable you.  The unshakable you.

When all the fear, anxiety, doubts, self-recriminations, and negative thoughts just drop away, are shed like an old skin and you shine.

You SHINE.

I want to talk to you about moments.

Because those moments, those are the times that makes the rest of the pain worth it.

That perfect you is always there, always waiting to just happen, when you do what you are meant to do.  When you are on your path.

I want to talk to you about moments.
