Spur of the Moment

It was correct, it was right, i could see clearly in the dark. My judgment and instinct concurred with what i was feeling in the spur of the moment, just like in my past. I felt like I had nothing to lose and everything to give, tout et al!

What does one do when in a situation like this? Like a child, should he just reach out and grab it or is there room for contemplation or even permission? A second thought maybe? Bah! Second thoughts are second grade. I believe in the moment and believing in the very instant when it matters most.

I thought i could live forever on my own, it seemed that it was all better when i was alone. I suddenly felt a void, a sense of emptiness. I was a lonely dreamer, a non-believer. Now it figures that living in the moment is what matters the most. I suddenly thought of every friend that was getting old, i guess i must be too! without them, i don't know what I'd do. I'd hang out with them at the beach and see the wine bottle empty and the money all spent, and the memory of that instant sticks on forever. I guess we are all a cross between our parents and some carefree hippies at some point, which gives me my individuality. These moments i feel are impulsive calls from the wild, screeching into your soul, impending and influencing you for a better moment. This is when you throw your 'to do' list into the closest bin and just go with the flow!

When it hits you, it hits you like a storm and calms you down like staring into a child's eyes. Its 'now' that is to savor more than anything else. moments inspire and show you the mirror when you least expect it. it catches you unaware, in your true self and that's how I die to live in the moment, the spur of the moment.
