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

That is their beauty and their curse.
Miss too many moments, and you miss your entire life".
"The Moment", Achim Nowak

I have to admit, it was frustrating, and disappointing.
Excited for a week's sailing course (a bucket list plan) - to find ourselves locked in harbor riding out a significant two day tropical storm - was not the adventure we'd planned for!

Tapping into the wisdom of "The Surrender Experiment" (Michael Singer), and surrendering to flow, allowed for a rich experience, full of reflective moments.

Hours before the storm hit and just as we arrived, a turtle surfaced in the harbor as if to greet us.

On our final evening, strolling along the dock, another turtle surfaced as if to say "goodbye".

Poetic, corny, coincidental? We take whatever we need from those moments.

I saw it as perfect "Bookend Moments", almost like inverted commas around our vacation adventure.

How will you Pause this week?
What Bookend Moments will you pay attention to?
