Moments Our

Our lives can be mythic if we choose them to be. Or they can be ordinary. Every day invitations to experience or live out a fairytale moment come our way if we look. It is not about complex, grandiose Hollywood dreams coming true necessarily.

Just this week, I found some of these golden moments in a gigantic full moon casting its silver light over cornfields. I felt that glow when the sight of sleek, powerful race horses taking the turn of the track in an early morning gallop put me back in time sailing over fences as a teenager on the back of my horse, Power Mate.

We can choose to drive down the highway of life at a fast speed, hurtling toward our destination covering many miles but never taking time to appreciate the golden moments. Or we can see the invitations that are presented every day and live a more mythic life.

Amidst the craze of production, I found myself playing Cinderella this week. I finally had a night where I finished work early enough to head out dancing. I tossed off my production clothes, pulled out one of my little salsa dresses and headed for the nearest cab. Three years ago, before I learned to dance, I would have never considered heading to a club in a city where I knew no one...to dance with no one I knew.

Just walking into the club made me smile. Familiar dance bags clutched in hand, bodies moving to the music even as they stood in line waiting to pay. Like Cinderella, I slipped on my fairytale shoes to complete the transformation and headed to the edge of the floor. I didn't have to wait long for my first invitation. At home in my own club, I wouldn't hesitate to step up to my favorite leads and ask them to dance but here in a city where I knew no one, I followed protocol.

What I love about salsa is that it transcends so many things. Early on, Tom, an older man in his late seventies, shuffled over to me and asked me to dance. It was a cha cha. He danced old style. Contained. Gently but firmly in control. He smiled out from under his baseball cap as the gold medallion on the heavy chain around his neck moved in time with the beat.

To be able to cross generations, cultures, regions and yet speak the same language is an extraordinary way to connect to others. When production can leave you feeling tired, and disconnected, when the thoughts don't come easily and the words get jumbled up because of exhaustion, the body still knows how to move. The connection is physical. I could feel the leads in my body and respond without language...only with movement.

I danced out my tiredness and my missing of the dance and then I saw him. Standing quietly by the dance floor, observing, watching. When he finally took to the floor, he owned it. He was so smooth. I walked toward the bar to close out my tab for my sparkling water. As I passed him, I put my hand on his arm and told him what a gorgeous dancer he was. He graciously accepted my compliment. A minute later, while I reached for the pen to sign my bill, he stepped up beside me and extended his in an invitation to join him on the floor.

His lead was everything I imagined it would be. I took in the moment and as the music slowed near the end of the song, he closed his eyes and eased us through the final bars. I thanked him as we shifted out of the dance and prepared to leave the floor. "That was amazing," he said back to me. It is a dance I will never forget.

As I gathered up my things, another invite came my way but I politely declined. Nothing was going to top that dance, this moment, the feeling. I wanted to hold onto it for awhile longer. I followed Cinderella's cue and slipped out of the bar at midnight into an awaiting cab.

These are the exquisite moments in life. It took effort to make this happen and I happily sacrificed sleep. It was a chance to step out of the bubble production tends to shrink wrap around my life. Nothing was lost and so much was gained. That one dance on the dance floor transformed my week and made the trip to Chicago an epic one.

It is worth asking, how can you look for the invitation to dance in your own life? Are you noticing the doorways to epic moments or barreling down the highway of life, eyes focused only on the destination? How can you begin to lead a mythic life?

Wishing you many fairytale moments.

Moments In Time $13.77 Rated: TVGSynopsis: In Moments in Time, archaeological finds become tickets to travel back in time, and our tour guide is host James Woods. Why did three-thousand French troops die in the mountains after Emperor Napoleon I's failed invasion of Russia? Did the legendary battle between Antony and Cleopatra and the Roman Octavius really happen? We find out by joining Woods on a trip into history. Anything could catapult us into the past: a button from a buried soldier's coat, a piece of the battering ram from Antony and Cleopatra's warship, the hilt of a sword possibly worn by Captain John Smith at the first American settlement. These artefacts become the point around which entire scenes from the past are built, and Woods offers modern perspective and wry commentary on these featured moments in time.

Moments of Light $7.5 Moments of Light Foreward by Annie Dillard. These stories prove that the mythic powers of the balladeer and the story teller survive even in this fragmented and unmysterious day. In the eleven stories gathered here, Fred Chappell engages and entertains our minds and sends us away singing in our hearts, more knowing, more understanding of ourselves. Fred Chappell's voice is sure and his vision is keen. As Annie Dillard writes in the foreword: "These are living, vivid narratives whose rich actions lodge in the imagination: world-wise and gentle Mr. Cody blowing up a tree; Norma, the drunk in love with innocence, quoting Shakespeare's sonnets in her ruined rooms; young Rosemary in the hayloft sticking her underpants under the hay; Mrs. Franklin pleased and bewildered at her own dinner party; and Stovebolt Johnson playing the blues in the Blue Dive, carrying himself in the world so carefully, with such thoughtfulness and controlled pain. These stories are as real as days." Moments of Light reflects the moral nature of man throughout history. In the first story, "The Three Boxes," Chappell writes, as only a poet or a philosopher would, "The lone man was alone"; with that he begins at once to sound the major themes of the book from the creation throught the mostly innocent vision of the Enlightenment to this dark and wearisome time when Stovebolt Johnson, the balladeer in "Blue Dive", works a tavern for beers. The title story points up the end of man's intellectual innocence and the shortcomings of reason alone as the composer Haydn peers through a telescope at the fearsome beauty of the universe and sees dread and hope alike reborn. Boson Books also offers Moments of Light in print. Fred Chappell served as Poet Laureate of North Carolina. Boson Books also offers Dagon , It is Time, Lord , and The Gaudy Place by Fred Chappell.

Luminous Moments $35 Luminous Moments is an idea, a way of seeing, an imaginative practice of openness to the everyday and the random. In the early twenty-first century, human beings seek new ways of constructing and comprehending ultimate meanings. For many, the revival of evolutionary thinking, along with the centenary of Darwin, is creating a new faith. Long live the prophets Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens! For others, the earth in all its beauty and its present agonies is where they seek to understand their existence. The institutions of church, mosque, temple or shrine still hold out the promise of ultimate meaning, ultimate understanding. But all around us—in popular music, film, graffiti, literature, and in the conversations we hold around these cultural forms—the sacred pervades, illuminates, teases and beckons us. Luminous Moments considers how we might open ourselves to these new forms of sacred awareness. This is what poets, musicians, artists and thinkers lead us to apprehend: that the sacred dimensions of our lives are mobile, non-judgemental, continually promising to open us out beyond ourselves. The pervasiveness of the sacred is the promise of new cultural and moral possibilities.

Defining Moments Study Guide $9.99 It’s no secret that what you don’t know can hurt you. In spite of that, we still go out of our way at times to avoid the truth. Men avoid doctors and women deny evidence of adultery. While the truth often hurts, deceiving ourselves will ultimately only worsen the situation. In this nine-part DVD and eight-part companion study guide, we listen in as Jesus introduces some rather perplexing truth to seven individuals who had grown comfortable with their misinformed lifestyles and belief systems. Readers will discover firsthand that the truth can set you free. And for those who have the courage to embrace it, their lives will be changed forever. Face the Truth Life is full of defining moments. Like landmarks on a road map, these moments mark key points along your life’s journey. A defining moment happens when you come face-to-face with a truth that invites you to change the way you live. It demands that you make a decision. And regardless of the choice you make, you will never be the same. In this eight-part companion study guide to the Defining Moments DVD, bestselling author Andy Stanley examines several such moments as depicted in the lives of people from Scripture—the kinds of moments many of us will experience in our lifetimes. And if you’re willing to look at truth honestly, these moments can change your life forever. Story Behind the Book While working to develop a series that would introduce people to a new mind-set about the way they live their lives, Andy Stanley discovered the influence that defining moments have. Now, after teaching this principle to his staff, church, and through the extended home study groups of North Point Community Church , this DVD and study guide material are releasing to a national audience through North Point’s relationship with Multnomah.

Epiphanies : The Great Teaching Moments of Our Lives $11.69 No Synopsis Available

God Moments in Time $10.99 "If you are looking for a book to read that uses big words that need a dictionary or thesaurus to understand their meaning then God Moments In Time is not for you. However, if you are looking for a book to read that is simple, yet profound then this is a book for you. There are few books that can be read in basically one sitting. You will be captivated by the nuggets that Thomas Brewer brings to the surface in the Scriptures, but even more captivated in how he moved from thousands of years ago to present day life situations that we as Christians can apply to our lives. For example, in chapter five, one nugget was drawn from Genesis 24:10-20. This is the story of Rebekah drawing water for the camels of Abraham's servant sent to find a wife for Isaac. It was pointed out that there were most likely 10 camels and that a camel drinks up to twenty-five gallons of water each day. Rebekah physically drew up with a jug, approximately 250 gallons of water, for the servant's camels. The point in the story was to show the extraordinary kindness of Rebekah to a stranger. The chapter ends with a challenge that we can and should show kindness to strangers we meet every day. Throughout the entire book you will learn interesting and insightful facts about biblical culture and customs, but will be shown the practical application to your life through these insights. At the end of the book there are five questions for each chapter. Some of the questions will take you back to the Bible and others will challenge and motivate you in your personal walk with the Lord. God Moments in Time coupled with the questions at the end of the book would make an excellent six week small group study. Too often todayChristian speakers and authors take a small portion of the Scriptures and shape the text to meet a perceived need in the lives of individuals. This type of speaking and writing takes little if any time to help the believer understand the Scriptures, but uses the Scriptures to jump off into what could be found in any secular self help section of bookstores. This does not happen in God Moments In Time. It takes you back to the story of Abraham's servant in Genesis 24 and teaches you how God uses events in life that can become doors of opportunity that shape not only your lives, but the lives of countless individuals many of whom you may never meet. God Moments In Time will not only help you recognize God moments, but will teach you how you can live a life that allows you to experience God moments on an everyday basis. It is refreshing to read a book that uses Scripture as the beginning and the end in teaching us how to open doors of opportunity through everyday events in our lives."

Moments and More: Vignettes and Poems of Life $23.41 The evocative prose and poetry of Moments and More artfully intertwines thematic essays on Art, Beauty, Magic, Philosophy, and Matters of the Heart with insightful poetry focused on the examination of personally, profound moments that shaped and redirected the authors life perspective. These moments, first frozen in prose, poetically explode into sharp insight that penetrates both heart and mind. Both the authors prose and poetry speak to those who value intellectually and spiritually exploring that which defines each of us. It spotlights love lost and gained, dreams envisioned and realized, laughter found and tears wiped away. It laments the destructive power of abuse, yet it cheers the healing power of forgiveness. Moments and More gently asks the reader to consider cultural concepts that collectively define us, but, more significantly, it exemplifies personal philosophical and spiritual thinking that specifically speaks to examining and better understanding our individual selves. Moments and More, a contemplative flight through the abstract realm of philosophical thought, utilizes the authors profound moments as touchstones to ground us. More deeply, though, the illuminated moments reveal one mans poignant discoveries on his personal path toward enlightenment, discoveries suggesting he has come far, but still has a ways to go.
