Moments

After a rather long and tedious day, one moment lifted the whole day for me. Listening to 'Adele's' new song 'Someone Like You' from her current album was uplifting, emotional and stunning! I was swept away by her poignant lyrics. Her talent and beauty go hand in hand. Sometimes it is those surprising moments in your day where you are reminded of the love and creativity around you, that serve to make your day extraordinary.

The human shape is a ghost,
Made of distraction and pain,
Sometimes pure light, sometimes cruel.
Trying wildly to open,
This image tightly held within itself.

Rumi (translation)


Life's Moments

When all is said and done,
The moments of the kaleidoscopic
picture that make up life's mosaic,
Will be enough for me?
I am content with its purpose.
And can only hope,
That each moment was enough,
For my soul to be loved and embraced completely.
Feeling love for oneself is tantamount to that,
And when each moment is an expression of such love,
Then we are truly home,
Whether we are in the picture or not.
