Sparkle Moments

Porter Lake, Maine


I was sitting by the shore of Porter Lake yesterday after swimming with a good friend. We were marveling at the view and the clouds when the sun worked its way through to the surface of the water. There was just enough wind that the tiny waves and sunlight combined to produce a lovely dance. We sat feeling awestruck and grateful for the natural display and the shared experience.

Sparkle Moments

Sparkle moments -
those times that
can quietly penetrate 
the busyness of life.
How fortunate we are
that all around us
they dance.
Each of us a body
afloat on a tiny spinning
planet in the cosmos.
Our own entity
and part of a whole,
we need to pause and
allow the sparkle moments
to buoy us as we navigate
this intricate,
precious life.
