Our lives are filled with moments. Our hours are filled with moments.  Each breath is a moment.  When we look at our lives we recognize certain defining moments.  The times when something occurred and provided insight into who we are or who we could be.  They may not have been big moments by the world’s standards but they were the moments when we felt something within ourselves connect to what was happening on a deeper level.  It is as though our hearts were whispering to us to speak through our being as the fullest expression of ourselves.  We may see defining moments as times when we fell short of being the truth of who we are. In a learning universe, we can grow from those. Given the way the universe works, we do not have one defining moment.  If every moment is begun and ended with a breath, just like our whole lives, then there are defining moments wherever we choose them to be.  It may not seem very consequential to smile at someone in line at the grocery store or to ask someone a question, but we do not know how our being the truth of who we are will be a defining moment for the other person.  Perhaps the person you smile at is contemplating whether or not their life is worth living since no one seems to notice them.  Your smile could be their defining moment.  Maybe the person to whom you ask a question did not know how to articulate an answer until you prompted something within them through your question. The defining moments in our lives may have nothing to do with us.
