On Moments

It's been a while since I've posted. Like, over a month. I'm having to force myself to write. That's probably the only way I am a writer. I am forcing myself to write as opposed to reacting to inspiration, but that's a discussion for another time (I am not a writer).

Life has been a struggle since I've returned home. I lost my job, I've had to adjust to living at home again, I don't really have too many prospects ahead of me, and relationships have been somewhat strained since I've been home.

I find, however, in these moments of stress, moments of "clarity". My car hasn't been running as great recently as it could. I tried my durndest to fix it but sadly I wasn't able to remedy the malady.

Another problem I had to deal with.

I took it in and found that it was a simple procedure, that I wasn't quite capable of, to fix that problem. A day later I had my car back, running well, and sunny skies lighting the road ahead of me.

Couple with this the smooth flowing tones and melodies of Muse's new album and I had a moment of escape. A glimpse of something else. Something greater.

It's amazing how elements that are seemingly unrelated can culminate in a moment that reminds us of how small our problems are. I cherish these moments, and thank God when he sends them my way. What are your moments of "clarity"?
