"Moments are such a slippery and ephemeral thing.
They come and go with a blink of an eye.

That is their beauty and their curse.
Miss too many moments, and you miss your entire life.

Detect the bloom, and you catch the soul of a person,
the spirit of a place.

What you really catch, of course, is your love of the world.
The sordid and sublime. The banal and the exceptional.
The big transcendent love of it all.

That's a pretty nice catch, I'd say."

"the Moment, a Practical Guide to Creating a Mindful Life in a Distracted World" Achim Nowak

Reading this last paragraph of Achim Nowak's book aroused poignant and joyful moments, some as far back as childhood.

I look forward with anticipation to how I might create more "bloom" - more magic moments - in the new year.

How will you create yours, or the circumstances which allow for these moments to arise?
