My Moment to Moment

Every stinking motivational speaker tells us to live in the moment. I keep trying but I am not getting any better at it. In fact, in my old age I am getting worse. I remember a moment in my early 20's before I got married, I lived in a moment. It was awesome. I knew the woman who was going to become my wife liked me, a lot. At the end of a great date, you know the one where you both know that there is going to be a goodnight kiss, we both lingered. She leaned in, closed her eyes and went 80% in. I walked away, down the stairs and left her standing there. I knew she loved me, and I loved her. We were going to be married someday. I lived in that moment the entire 10 minutes I walked back to my apartment. However, after I had her all worked up and confused, she left the following weekend with her roommates to go watch some other guy run a marathon in Vegas. My roommates said walking away was the dumbest thing I could have done. Nope. I was right. She married me four months later.

However, unlike that moment I didn't do it well after that. I tried, but failed. I am four decades plus now and I can empathize with the lyrics...

I remember it passing, but the fool that I was couldn't see for the next ten years. Until I discovered like waking up from a dream.

I am not sure what I can do with the rest of my life. I have been the master and the flying trapeze, I have also been the broom. Is it to late? is it to late to remedy? Now that I am older, there is new meaning to the words "moment to moment, and every breath is a step to forever."

I have more breathes behind me than I do in front of me.
