Moments D505: Sacred Traditions

Today's moment was one with more depth than most of of my 574+ shared moments.  Today I shared in what I feel is a sacred moment.  I was very nervous to be included as I know its importance and depth; one small misstep and I could find myself in an extremely awkward position.

For the most part I kept my energy focused on this sacred moment to be bright and supportive, but I was a follower.  I awaited cues and gestures to know how I should be involved.  I did what I could to do more than just watch the ceremony in progress.  I focused my energy to be bright, but it was an incredibly emotional for me.  I felt all the emotion of the moment added to my own.  At times during the ceremony, I found myself overwhelmed with tears in my eyes.  It was a beautiful to be even a small part of this tradition, let alone in the middle of it.

I watched as balloons were released in pairs.  The final single one was sent into the sky and we watched it disappear into the morning sky.  It was a celebration, a shared memory.  A moment ripe with love and pain.  It was a first moment that will forever be with me as I begin a new path with the man I love.

Intimate moments shared.

Moments never to be forgotten.
