In Pursuit of Moon Beams By Larry Chadwick I was racing moon beams tonight. Perhaps the moon had an unfair advantage. I am not sure if it was the elevation or the angle. But no matter how much I accelerated I found myself behind. They were parallel moon beams riding on the tracks. At some point I conceded I was not racing moon beams at all, I was actually chasing them. There is much more satisfaction in chasing moon beams. Because then I have won before I even started. I lost the same pursuit with my shadow when I was three and found the lesson much more pleasant at fifty-six. It seems chasing memories is much like that, more satisfying at a leisurely pace. I find now I don’t mind slowing down. January 2, 2007 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

Wow.. Larry.. you always amaze me at how you can take just about any subject and create this great moral story out of it.. it's almost like a parable.. comparing one thing to another.. making me hang on every word. I loved this.. Great job! ~heather~ Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes. |
