May 6th 2001 - a moment in a day that changed my life

May day, celebration of life and love.

Cinco de Mayo, one of my favorite peoples' birthday.

As the sun rises and crowns the tops of the mountains in this beautiful valley I'm a guest in and the 6th of May approaches I ponder and reflect. I do this each year at this time, considering the meaning and tenousness of life - what our purpose is here. Seven years ago an instant happened that changed my life considerably.

I often think of how wondrous life truly is, how gifted we are to be here. To be able to experience all that we do is simply amazing. There are so many things that we take for granted each and every day. We each have abilities that we never give a moments thought to and that seems normal. I would offer for each of you to consider some of the things that you find amazing and offer gratitude for each of them, gratitude for your life and the loved ones around you, for each moment you have the ability to 'experience' life, for these are ever so precious gifts and could change in an instant.
