This is the moment of your ultimate bliss

Have you considered how often you don’t live in the present unless of course you are toiling at a work project?

How everything else seems to be lived in hindsight and on the wings of hope and expectation?

They say to live in the moment.

They say to be present.

They say today is all we have. 

I say we live with one hand leaving the trapeze bar and our other hand reaching for the one coming towards us – there is always a degree of fear that the bar and our outstretched hand will not connect.

There is wisdom that comes from having let go of the bar before and knowledge the next bar always comes.

There is a sense of free falling and of flying simultaneously.

There is the sleeplessness as we anticipate the days movement and a restfulness that accompanies completion.

There is hope that we will be able to turn to the right and to the left to see more than the tunnel vision of the next bar.

There is the desire that when we look up, someone is moving towards us with their legs wrapped around the bar – with hands strong enough to clasp our outstretched hands and swing with us. 

This is where imagination lives – between letting go and going towards.

This is your moment of ultimate bliss.
