ILLUMINATED
O
EXCELLENCE
I live at the edge of a canyon, across from which, there is a mountain that stays really dark, early in the morning, because the sun rises to the East of it. Today, I was just standing outside drinking my coffee, when suddenly, in the center of that darkened mountain, a small, perhaps 20-foot-long rock formation that extended out of it, was lit up by the brilliant light of sunshine, transforming into a treasure, the one little tree that was growing there.
At just that perfect moment, an eagle circled above this illuminated spot, and I felt a kind of wonderful happiness that was similar to when I'm just listening to a band and then suddenly hear the amazingly beautiful chords of a great guitar player rise up above the general mayhem of the group's music. It always makes me have to smile with happiness and close my eyes so I can hear this singular expression of greatness without distraction.
I love those illuminated gifts of excellence.
Like a writer's uniquely perfect sentence...........a sculptor's space of perfect form...........an architect's soaring monument............a beautiful graphic...........a great dialogue...........a fraction-of-a-second of beauty anywhere.
I live for those moments.
They give me the courage
to hope and to trust
that it's all still possible.
