Nirvana

It’s dark out.  Smoke from a campfire and laughing voices of neighborhood children out past their bedtimes float into the porch on the coat tails of a cool and welcoming breeze.  It’s the last evening of summer vacation.  School starts on Tuesday.  If you’re a kid this final night of liberty is nothing short of ecstasy. You can’t help but enjoy it.

We adults spend so much time in life embroiled in our quest for perfection, worried about what might go wrong or how we fix what we deem to be wrong, that we fail to fully immerse ourselves in what’s right.

 

Moments that transcend our wildest imagination come to life when we’re not looking for them.  I don’t know if it’s possible to make your own magic, but what I do know is this:  When we share what matters to us, when we choose to be brave and connect we can find ourselves inhabiting that secret, unspoiled space where the stars align and all is right with the world.

Bliss can sneak up on us when we least expect it. Take note and infuse yourself with every anodyne moment. And then keep the memory tucked safely inside your heart. You’ll want to be back there again. Trust me, you will.
