I have been in reflection for a bit.
Reflecting on goals...no more dreams...they're called goals now. And I was thinking about all these things that I was going to write them all down somewhere, a scrap or anywhere but being a little too caught up with work, I forgot what I was thinking about. I lost that moment.
As happens, sometimes a moment settles and hovers and remains for much more than a moment. And sound stops and movement stops for much, much more than a moment. And then the moment is gone...and you are left trying to recall the spark of that moment.
I couldn't.
I regretted not living that moment, and thought of an old moment which reminded me of what I heard on tv:
"Regret comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are small, like when we do a bad thing for a good reason. Some are bigger, like when we let down a friend. Some of us escape the pangs of regret by making the right choice. Some of us have little time for regret because we're looking forward to the future. Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past. and sometimes we bury our regret by promising to change our ways. But our biggest regrets are not for the things we did, but for the things we didn't do. Things we didn't say, that would have saved someone we care about, especially when we can see the dark storm that's headed their way."
Which led on to another moment that Ida Scott Taylor once wrote:
"Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering."
And then I recalled what my reflectivemoment was about...
It was about living. =)
