Extraordinary moments......

Extraordinary moments.
Some times it’s the briefest of moments in our life that matter more than anything else, the tiny seconds amongst the endless days that bring us true joy.
Have you ever looked into the mirror and been amazed? Amazed that you are real, that you exist, that you are a person…. That moment you fully feel yourself.
Like a bolt from a clear sky when you suddenly look at your parents or sisters or brothers and feel that they truly love you like you love them, that moment, even if its no more than the shortest of moments, it feels like heaven.
When you look up into the starry sky and realize that you are a part of that wonder, you are a product of the same power, which is at work inside the stars, that moment fills you with overwhelming awe.
Looking outside your bedroom window, the thirst to just go outside, like the world is calling you to travel and see places, this moment can lead to a thousand dreams.
When you go inside after staying outside in the bright sun for sometime the brief blinding effect on the eyes can sometimes be scary, a rude interruption to the seeming reality, that moment can sometimes be seriously disturbing.
Then, there are these moments of amazing clarity when everything seems to make sense and you seem to have figured out everything in life, these are rare moments, which seem to have the shortest life span. When such a moment passes us, we seem to want to cling to it and never let it go.
Are all these moments just random happenings in the infinity of time and space or are they all building up towards a predetermined destiny or is our destiny formed by these moments? Whatever they may be, time is speeding towards the invisible horizon and these moments allow us to cherish the special times. After all time does pass in moments, each one leading to the next and when such a moment passes us next time, maybe we will take another moment to think about it and enjoy it.
