Capture the Moment

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.                                                                                   Charles Darwin

     The weather here, in Minnesota, the past two weeks has been glorious. The 80 degree sun against the backdrop of fall colors has been interrupted only by a strong, steady wind; the winds of change. We feel it coming, winter, but the beauty of the moment allows us to forget the driving snows and freezing winds that could capture us, will capture us, any day.    
     When we are able to capture the moment and still accept the inevitable change is when we learn to allow ourselves to live. It seems so difficult, at first glance, but it is really very simple. The energy of the universe, of life, is constantly moving forward and the only moment we have to affect it, to experience it, is this one; the Present Moment.
      Don't let a single moment slip away, unnoticed, untapped because you're worried about the future or stuck in the past. Each moment contains the power to change your life, change the world! It's the only moment that is real and truly, the only moment that IS. Capture it, and you will hold the secrets of the universe.
