Sum of Moments

,,,

A gulp of fresh, crisp early morning air
Serene silence felt on a mountain peak 
Soaking in the vastness stretching before you
The peaceful reverie by a shimmering placid lake
A golden sunset with a sky in a riot of colors... 

That first bike ride on your own 
Discovering balance and belief 
Feeling alive and feeling life 
Flowing through your veins 
Experiencing invincibility...

To be moved to tears
By a soulful note that stirs something deep within
To let rhythm take over and flow in time
Discovering the grace and power of being
The sheer joy of being alive...

Holding her hand for the first time
That first walk together
Experiencing vulnerability
Loving her and letting her go
Experiencing the meaning of pain
And then learning to smile back again
Priceless, every bit of it...

The exhilaration of giving everything you've got
To pour all your heart into something
Without the slightest thought of return
Spent, sleep under the stars
With no worries, no regrets...

Living moment to moment
Burning yourself in every action
To leave no trace, no seed of pain
Learning to flow, just flow, with no fear
Letting life unfold like a blooming flower...

In these moments
Thought static subsides
Calm spreads all over
Boundaries expand engulfing horizons
Life's a string of beautiful moments
When there's no mind, no thought
You are there, in that moment, that's all...
By Omkar Phatak

Discovering the flow of beautiful moments, that is life...
