Your life that you are living is a series of moments collected like data. Snapshots taken by the mind stored and saved over time  and when weaved together these become the story of ones life.

What would you like to remember?

Do you notice the sweetness?

Will you recall the joyful momentous moments that pass like clouds?

Close your eyes for a moment and look back on your life up to this moment. What comes up?

What are the main events?

Today while walking my life moments provided a wonderful movie in my mind.

While walking in the crisp October air I let the cool air fill my lungs. I breathe in deep and the coolness in my throat and nostrils is refreshing. The fresh air exhilarated my senses and my step quickened as I walked on observing the fall splendor in my neighborhood. In that moment all was well and fair.

The following memories came quickly and tears flowed this was a much needed cathartic release.

My life story like a movie played and my heart filled with love.

I rushed back to write and sip my coffee in the sanctuary of home. My once heavy heart again is renewed as well as my spirit.

The images of life remembered flood like a watercolor wash. The dew in the early morning is recalled in vivid detail. The sensations of touch and connection are deeply felt once again while recalling the softness of the chick, the soft sheep and the the soft grass in fields of green. I see these images in my mind like an old movie reel. They play again for me.

I walk on and recall clouds moving fast and I have no worries. I watch them dreamily as the billow past my window. I see the kite soaring high, the river bends of flowing and frozen stream. My heart quickens for life is fast and still I feel renewed by these visions. Still not this beating heart.

I recall the first glance of true love and new life in hands and hearts. I see mountains and hills and trains moving fast. I see waterfalls, boats and carousel horses. I squint and squeeze my hands and move with swiftness. I see the dandelion and sunflowers that line the country roads. I recall the bubbles in my first champagne glass. The first red lipstick and the countless stars.

I watch in my mind and see my hand gliding through water and playing with snow. I watch children playing and see myself as a child. I am free to wander the banks and roam without care. I am free to be me. I see my child and grandchildren being born, walking and playing. I see life moving fast and I am awakened to life and this moment.

Breathe, I say to myself you are still here and this is just the start.

I thank God for this day and for the ability to recall my life in Kodochrome color.

I thank God for life and I walk on appreciating this beautiful fall day.

Can you recall some sweetness?
Don’t let it fade away for life is now dear friend.

Like old leaves we too can learn how to dance in the wind, rain and sun.
