Those Moments

They say life is made up of moments. I guess in theory life is just a stream of moments. But there are also those moments you have, that you wish would just go on forever. And you know they can’t. They’re built for that time. I think if you try to stretch them you ruin them. You’re even from time to time forced to end them knowing you’re closing them down, wishing you didn’t have to, aware that you must.

I had one of those moments the other day with the Scooter Girls. We were at Emmerentia Dam walking and scooting. We stopped on the side of the path, under a large tree to have a drink, eat our chocies and play ‘I spy’.

As I sat there I found myself in a moment. Nothing big going on, just wishing I could freeze time and stay there. I couldn’t imagine ever wanting to be anywhere else.

Drinks finish, so do chocies, and so to does ‘I spy’. Up we got, picked up the scooters and moved on. You can’t stay. You can’t take moments with you. I found myself simply leaving that moment where it was. Struggling to trust that that particular moment would go to wherever spent moments go, adding somehow to the greater moment called life?
