Moments

Life is made of little moments in time stitched together by the emotions in them. Sometimes I remember the little bits that seem vastly devoid of emotion. Emptiness can be a blessing when my life is too full of the things that will not matter soon.

Fullness of dreams and hopes that can never be brought to fruition are such a burden to a practical soul such as mine. Half of me craves for simple practicality; the other for wild adventurous quests into the unknown, full of danger, courage and honor. Maybe I read too many fantasy books. There has to be some middle ground! Can someone so divided ever be at peace?

Yet, sometimes I do find peace in the moments that I spend in music, books and nature. God’s creation is particularly easy to find peace in. Seeing the beauty and how it all fits together so well brings the calm knowledge that at least someone knows what is happening and why.
