We all want Moments (capital 'M') in our lives, or as they say on American Idol (which, yes, I still watch), a "moment moment". These Moments are life events that take our breath away, change our perspective of the world, help us to realize that we are only single people in a world of many.  Our wants are minute.  Our experiences are minuscule.  Our feelings are tiny.  Moments happen occasionally, but between Moments we wait.  We wait for the next Moment to come by and sweep us off of our feet.

What we forget is that, while we do not get Moments everyday we do get moments (lowercase 'm').  moments happen and they don't smack us in the face with profundity.  Instead, they whisper quietly to us from a corner.  We miss them when we aren't paying attention.  moments are what truly form our existences and affect us day-to-day.  The jam-session I have when I'm driving home at night.  The lunch I had with friends, after which I felt full both physically and emotionally.  The small applause from a stranger I heard after playing my guitar in my apartment with the windows open.  These experiences encourage me, motivate me, make me feel appreciated, give me that little boost of energy and love that I need to carry me through to my next Moment.  

moments change us. moments inspire us. Be attentive.  Don't miss a moment.

Keep on thinking,
