What Do You Do?

What do you do… in those moments you know you’ll always remember?

…In those crossroads moments?

…In those moments that represent a major shift or you know will make it onto your life’s highlight reel?

…At graduations? …At milestone birthdays? …At performance events? …At first dates? …At once-in-a-lifetime travel views?

…How do you step into that type of moment?

…How should you act?

…Should you record so you can reflect on it?

…Or should you step into that space in full presence and awareness?

…Maybe some combination of the two?

Can you step into a space with full awareness and presence if you’re thinking in the background about which moment(s) to capture? Maybe the moment happens when you think it will. Maybe another moment comes up that you think might be better? Maybe you decide to just capture them all and figure it out later?

…But then are you ever really there?

…What do you do?

Maybe outsource it to another? But then does it place a burden onto them that steals them away from presence and awareness? Or maybe it’d be a distinct joy to be able to rewatch this key moment a thousand times over on a screen? Maybe even more so than one fully absorbed and present time?

…And finally: are there ever really moments that are worth a careful contemplation like this over others? Or are all moments worth thinking carefully about like this?

Because I’ve been writing every day for a long time and I’ll tell you what…

There’s an unbelievable depth in each day.
