How many of these moments do we have as parents? So many moments I’ve witnessed a glance, a gesture, a moment of utter perfection that have not lasted any longer than this… too short, fleeting and uncontrived to even reach for a camera – all we have is our memory with which to capture it. The other night the full moon came up over the field a short distance from my house. It was the most extraordinary color orange. Big- like the kind of moon you see in a movie and I felt like if i crossed the field i could touch it. It totally made my heart hurt for all it’s beauty – and in an instant it was gone- up in the sky again, untouchable. These are the seconds that count.
I love this little project – it really spoke to me.

Thanks Gene.
I know those moments well! Thank god for them too. For those of us who see our surroundings as a string of creative opportunities sometimes need these moments to surrender our process and just experience. What a gift!
amen.
Those moments are blessings. I have always been grateful when I have had the where-with-all to write them down. Your post moved me, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for reading and commenting Kakie. I should write them down!
