We went to the beach
to see the rising of the Super Moon. We stood in awe as it rose above the sea.
Within minutes I pulled out a camera to take a picture but, since the camera
was unfamiliar to me, I couldn't find the settings in the dark to catch the image
properly. I did snap a couple of shots but I eventually gave up and simply held
Bonnie’s head close to my chest. It was a moment in time that couldn't be
caught on camera. I think now about it and remember the many times in places
that I had a camera… took a shot… and moved on as though I had experienced the
place or event. The truth is that, most of the time, I look at old pictures of
places and people in my past and they don’t hold anything for me if I didn't stop and appreciate them in the now as I took them. However, I have found that
I am able to stop and pause to give each moment… each person I make contact
with… more than a snap-shot. I can do that with an open heart and mind if I
take a few precious moments before I get busy today to take a few deep breaths
and be here in the now.
