Reflections for 2/10/13

"Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."(Luke 9:33)

Have you ever been present for something that was seemingly a once in a life time moment?  Something that as you recall it you still can't believe how lucky you were to be present.  Perhaps you kicked yourself for not having a camera, or in this day and age your smart phone out at that time.

When we have those "wow" moments we want to hold on to them, keep them tucked away so that we can call upon them whenever we like. 

Of course even harder is to try and describe the event to someone who wasn't there.  Sometimes words escape us.  It is also true that in our excitement we can't just be quiet and enjoy the moment.

In those times when they happen if we are fortunate to capture the moment electronically, great.  But perhaps even better is when our mind's eye gets it, allows for it to sink in and no matter how much time has elapsed we can recall it with such clarity that it is as if it was happening right here and now.

And perhaps the best response to "wow" moments is to say it is good to be here.

Blessings,
