The last couple of days I have felt that I’m living or watching a scene from a movie. Not that it’s a fantasy but just the way it’s filmed. As I drove out of the Starbucks parking lot with my morning coffee in hand I passed a car with two women laughing: Full, hearty laughs. It’s like my mind snapped a picture of that moment. One bent over in laughter and the other head raised mouth wide open with laughter… Genuine laughter. It brought a smile to my face and almost became contagious because I started giggling. Even as I work that moment is still captured in my thoughts… A three dimensional photograph that I can see from all angles. It reminds me of the Matrix where Trinity is getting ready to kick that police officer and they pan around from every angle. My imagination is doing the same thing.
I have enjoyed taking walks with my iPod because it has felt like I’m walking through a scene in a movie and it’s the soundtrack to my life. I hadn’t noticed it until my memory went back to a moment where I was listening to my iPod walking down Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena and there was a moment, a glance between me and a complete stranger, I remember feeling my eyes brighten in that moment where his eyes met mine. It was a simple moment but the music that I was listening to was perfect for the moment. I couldn’t remember what it was exactly but it was lighthearted and uplifting. I kept walking with a huge smile on my face.
Lately I’ve spent a lot of time thinking what I want in life. And a moment keeps coming to the forefront of my mind. Me driving in my 2006 Atomic Blue Honda Civic with the windows down and the music blaring and my camera equipment on my passenger seat. Thinking about that moment puts a huge smile on my face. This shows me a lot about where I’m at in my mindset, and it’s a good place.
