We are in a golden land:
A singular moment in time.
Everything glows.
We are our best
You are your best
We have created something beautiful,
something brilliant,
something ephemeral
that we wish to hold,
to savour,
to celebrate.
All we can to do is notice
this golden moment
and bask in the glow
until it’s faded away.
All we can do is be thankful
we are here.

This is dedicated to my colleagues at ERS. We have such an amazing school, full of laughter and community, but the cuts to funding mean that some of what makes us amazing will shortly end.
There are so many moments like this in our lives. It can happen when we come together with like-minds at a conference or festival, for example. Theatre productions are usually like this. We come together and magic happens. We glory at what we are part of, knowing that a component of its beauty is that it will not last, and hoping that while it exists, it makes a difference to those we touch.
Ah, community…
It’s golden. It really is.
(Not to be confused with Golden, which is close, but which it isn’t. Not to deny that for some people, Golden may also be golden). 😉
beautiful and inspiring.
Thank you

“all we can do is be thankful we are here” yes.

It’s melancholy, but it’s so.
Each moment’s treasure belongs to it, alone.
And each moment is a treasure.
Hmm. One could play with that quite a bit, eh?
Wverything?
