Moments of Living Large

Have you experienced such sublime moments?

• I feel largest in life in those occasional interludes
• 
  in which an instant in time seems like an eternity,
• 
  and the moment has limitless possibilities I can influence,
• 
  marked by the giant hand of the clock of infinity,
• 
  the world lit by a blindingly clear light
• 
  that falls out of the bluest of skies and whitest of clouds
• 
  onto me and the objects around me,
• 
  A cool zephyr rippling over my warming skin,
• 
  the concrete grains of a wall under my hand
• 
  the sheen of metal and the blades of green grass,
• 
  everything stilled in a crystalline sharpness
• 
  and a word, gesture or smile from me
• 
  diffusing benevolence and something good over the world.
• 
  Then the next unhurried sliding forward of the red hand
• 
  of the giant white clock standing aslant over the world
• 
  and the next infinite exalted moment.
• 
  A state of flow, of grace.
• 
  I think this is what living large is.
• 
  Not money. Not power. Not title. Not sex.
• 
  Not being without care about anything or anyone,
• 
  But being good enough at something I love
• 
  I leave a little eddy of peace and beauty somewhere,
• 
  noticed by me, even if by no one else.
