I am thrilled when my ordinary life offers up an extraordinary moment that brings some solace or insight or enjoyment to others, and such has been the good fortune of that moment in the late 1980's when I was driving the "��dog shift" in Minneapolis, Minnesota. What is noteworthy about that moment, beyond it��s poignancy, is that I did not create it; I merely experienced it and let it unfold.

Life gives us all such moments - I call them "Blue Moments"�� -�� where a brilliant light shines through the ordinary moments in our ordinary days. They come unsolicited and unannounced, and provide us the gift of significance and, if we are lucky, the opportunity to serve.

What it is important is to remember that these ARE gifts, and that we cannot receive them if we are not open to them. We need to listen closely, watch closely, and take care not to rush past or through them when they arrive. They are the fabric of our lives, and they will weave themselves with complexity and beauty if we give them time to do so.

hey... In search of a classy boy... Aam here.
