Today's moment surprised me, as many moments over the days passed have. The full moon, the coming holiday season, current life shifts and questions, so many unanswered questions. It's been a circling swirl of energy and none overly productive. The path is forward, but it feels like two steps forward, one back. It's not how I typically work. That said, I too am learning, changing and evolving. I have learned that not everything needs to be driven hard forward. Taking time, investigating, mulling over. These are qualities that only fortify the path followed. But it's not easy for me as here are too many unanswered questions. That makes me uneasy. Too many possibilities floating around me and, at times, it makes me feel a touch lost on the direction.
But I digress. Today's moment appeared during a particularly stressful conversation, I found myself watching the shadows cast by the full moon on the landscape and the cars all around us. And then I saw it, a big, beautiful shadow of the truck we were driving along the freeway in. It was picture perfect.
In that moment, I couldn't help but smile and think back to when I was a kid and playing with toy cars. My brother and I used to make shadows with them. You know, a Hot Wheels car (or truck!), a flashlight, and a background. What fun we had!
And just as quickly as my moment arrived, the shadow and memory vanished.
Moments stolen away from a stressful situation.
Moments recalling fond childhood memories.
