Moments of grace

[kellinator]

When you think about it, all we really have in life are moments of grace.

You know these moments. They're usually fleeting, always unexpected, but in their brief time they make you forget that you don't know what the hell the world is about.

Glancing out my window just in time to see a shooting star. Looking up in the sky in a place I don't know and immediately picking out Orion. Singing along badly with some song on the radio, getting caught by the guy in the car next to me, then the sudden exchange of grins as we realize we're both singing along with the same song.

Tell me about one of your moments of grace.

I worked in the UTM library while it was housed in Clement Hall (while the new library was being built). One night when I was up in one of the rooms I looked out the window, and something about the way the light hit a dogwood tree that was in full bloom made it look like it was covered in snow. I had to stop and look again before I realized, no, it hasn't been snowing. It was beautiful.
