Life is but a series of moments!
Magic of life!
Life is but a series moments! We have the power to choose how we experience each precious moment.
In 2016 I had the pleasure of visiting a magnificent cactus garden. Despite them not being in bloom, I was transfixed by their beauty and envisioned myself standing in the garden surrounded by the cacti all in flower. Bloom season came and I had one day that I was free to travel to the garden. My phone call the day before to ask if the garden was in bloom, revealed there were a few flowers but certainly not the peak and the owners thought it would be a few more days. This didn’t align with what I had envisioned, however, knowing it was my only opportunity, I decided to go and simply enjoy the garden. The owners greeted me with great excitement. They had arrived that morning to find the garden in full bloom and assured me that I could not have chosen a better day to visit. I spent the day in awe and time stood still as I drank in the exquisite beauty of each flower and just when I would think there couldn't be any greater beauty, I would look up and stare in breathless wonder. This photo is just one of the thousands of flowers that took my breath away. I experienced that day moment to moment, celebrating each and every flower. That day taught me a powerful life lesson. I have a choice to live every day in the same way, moment by moment and in those moments, there is peace and calm despite the chaos around me. The truth is, all we have is this moment!
