Each moment that slipped by

past my attention,

was a spiritual gift

Thanks for your kind comments.

Short, sweet and very significant. Realization is very important as life will offer many more spiritual gifts in future.

[Relic's Bare Trees]

I'm sure they will. Thank you for the comment.

Life does seem to fly by... hurried on by all that life brings us. Yet, the greater gift perhaps...understanding at times, moments may slip by...BUT, understanding what a gift life is...and be grateful for it. :-)

Sadly, there are so many that don't understand that.

Love this. Simple yet so profound once again. Time is something that passes us by so quickly and it is through our words that we are able to capture moments that are often lost in the ebb of life.

[Relic's Bare Trees]

I agree. Thanks so much for reading.

I like that you focus our attention on this mentality. You allow us to value the passage of time, which really allows for reflection on each of those little moments. I really like how you descried those moments as "spiritual gifts."

[Relic's Bare Trees]

Thank you Clockwork.

You're welcome.

I've thought about this a lot of times. I try to tell myself every second counts because like you said, sometimes I feel like I'm just letting every moment slip by and ignoring things. Maybe we don't appreciate spiritual gifts because we can't grasp what they truly mean because there is so much that's spiritual that we will never understand. I love how this made me think, and you only had to write a few lines to have an impact on me. Great job

I'm glad you liked it UM. I think it's human nature to get caught up in worldly things, thereby letting our spiritual selves take a back seat. We need to get quiet each day and remember we our spiritual beings in a human body. At least, that is my own personal view.
