A couple of days ago my daughter graduated from 8th grade. The ceremony was sacred in that the 7th graders introduced the 8th graders who then gave a short speech about what they’d learned thus far. One insightful young lady, whom I’ll call Starshine, compared life to a kaleidoscope. She said that every moment is like a snapshot of vibrant colors shining through a unique design. She went on to say that if you don’t breathe it in right then, it will be gone forever. For in the very next moment, the image will shift again. These words of wisdom took my breath away as I realized how fleeting life really is.
Dedicated to DPH. Thank you for all the vibrant moments.
