A moment happened
This is the lovely phrase an Irish friend used on a call yesterday.
“A moment happened.”
Were we there? Not exactly, but his lyrical storytelling held us in the moment.
And even if we couldn’t smell the vast Californian redwoods or hear the scamper of the deer, we were there. At least in our imagination.
A moment happened.
The other day too. When Steve glanced up from his desk and saw the rainbow right in the middle of the lake.
That moment happened, and he captured it to share, with its echoes of promise and wellbeing.
Only afterwards, as the rest of the day unfolded, we realised how much we needed that moment.
A moment in time that is so easy to miss or disregard if we’re not open to being interrupted.
The ability to look deeply
is the root of creativity.
To see past the ordinary and mundane
and get to what otherwise might be invisible.

Thank you, Ciaran.

2 年What incredible light, Sue Heatherington. I love that moment when all of a sudden I realise the conditions are rainbow-ready, look around... and there it is. Beautifully captured by Steve Heatherington ??

2 年As I was heading east yesterday, the western sky was one peach colored beauty. It was hard to keep eyes on the road and not in the rear view mirror. Yes, Sue Heatherington, it is important to notice and allow the awe to fill us. (And thank you to Steve for being fast with the camera.)
