I am in the moment

I am in the moment when the sun is shining on my face having climbed into the sky high enough to be warm through my front room window. I am celebrating a holiday by myself and feel no pangs of sadness and remorse. There is work to be done and my job is to do the work and figure out how to keep unfurling.

One way is to capture the sun in words and remember that I am alive as sentences pass through me, no matter what I write. There is always a power in connecting to whatever spiraling tape has been filtered through the magic lantern of my mind already.

There is a need to remember the sunlight when the darkness comes, and so I will do my part to reflect that which fuels me when I can remember that there is always the totality to consider and I get to choose how I direct it. 

I am in this moment but there have been others and there will be more. They all connect. They all loop back. They are all part of the journey no matter what happens. 

But may I always remember the feeling of the sun on my face on all of the moments I have been fortunate enough to feel the power of existence.
