Precious Moments

It's odd... after looking back on my undergraduate college experience, I initially thought that I ddin't learn enough... The same thing was true during senior year of high schoool, the same was true when I graduated from middle school, and the same will be true when I complete my Masters Degree.

However, I think that we, as human beings, are very good at disregarding and downplaying incidents, even brief moments, of significance for the sake of allowing ourselves to move to the next season of life. We need, at times, to say the last wasn't that important so that we can let go of how much it really meant to us.

I want to get to the place where I do not have to look on the meaningful moments and say, "It wasn't that important." I want to be able to accept the loss of the moment and to move on, appreciating the moment for what it was, in all of its adequacy and inadequacy.
