A Moment

I find it thought provoking in the least to consider a moment in time for a single individual. There are six and one half billion people on this planet and there is a unique and distinctive moment for each and every second they are alive. A photograph, especially of a person, is the capturing of just one moment in a time-line so profound that only God could possibly comprehend it. These moments added together create history, each moment is necessary and as important as the one prior and the one following. Every moment to every person is important and every moment should be lived as if it were the last. This saying is no longer cliche. This idea is valid and to the point.

As i sat in a small coffee shop drinking a delicious Italian soda, I looked across the room and saw this man sitting, writing, and pondering something far more complex than I was. He had no idea that his presence in the room brought these thoughts to my mind. He will never know the affect his being there had on me in that single moment. He may never see his picture. He may forget that day in the coffee shop altogether, but I will not. This is why we must live to the best of our ability in each moment because we never know when our actions or even simple presence will affect another. Each moment has the potential to change the world or to change someone's world. We are generators of moments. We are producers of change. We are keepers of progression.
