......Found Moments

Life really is all about the “found moments”. I’m pretty sure that is from a movie I saw and when I remember it, I will post which one. They are right though; there is a chance every day to find something, either something within you or outside of you. Something so small you almost miss it, or so big it knocks the wind out of you.

My best friend is a dreamer in the literal sense of the word, which works out well since she is THE most literal person I’ve ever met. I am her counter-balance. She tells me that I have this habit of picking reality up from the floor (where she has usually left it) and throwing it in her face……….I found her to be right. Does that mean that I have no dreams and she has no realistic ideas of life? Far from it, but it does tell you what our first reactions to life are. When you are so busy staying grounded in reality, you lose your creativity. You lose the ability to see what could be, only what is.

My found moment today, is that I have stopped looking for them, those “found moments” and as a result, they have left me. I did not appreciate their importance in my life, and they took the meal of neglect I fed them and moved on. Today is about enticing them back, for they are the things that gets you through that crappy day at work when you want to walk out, they help you sustain that glorious high you are on when you have had a truly amazing breakthrough with your art, they fill in the gaps to reveal what you have been looking for all along.

So take notice you elusive moments, I’m coming for you and you will be found.
