Children may not notice the positive moments in life unless we point them out to them.
When people ask me about my story I just go through the positive stuff: the tent-pole moments the big landmark checkpoints.
The other side of it is that despite all that people reach out to poetry at the key moments in their lives.
My obsession with time informs my poetry so completely it is hard for me to summarize it. We want time to pass for new things to happen to us we want to hold on to certain moments we don't want our lives to end.
Poetry is what we turn to in the most emotional moments of our life - when a beloved friend dies when a baby is born or when we fall in love.
I get those fleeting beautiful moments of inner peace and stillness - and then the other 23 hours and 45 minutes of the day I'm a human trying to make it through in this world.
There are moments when all anxiety and stated toil are becalmed in the infinite leisure and repose of nature.
The butterfly counts not months but moments and has time enough.
Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage talking to the audience looking at them and smiling that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now but there are still moments of awkwardness.
The great moments of rock 'n' roll were never off in some corner of the music world in a self-constructed ghetto.
Even though I make those movies I find myself wishing that more of those magic moments could happen in real life.
A lot of the struggle I had with movies is I really loved moments and tones and feelings in a scene and I loved creating those but I never really had great stories to string them together.
I opened the large central window of my office room to its full on the fine early May morning. Then I stood for a few moments breathing in the soft warm air that was charged with the scent of white lilacs below.
What I had said in the morning was that this is what we know has happened but there has been no significant off-site release. Only to find out moments later that in fact there had been an off-site release. I still haven't gotten over that.
I just remember Stella Tenant and me dancing in Donatella Versace's bathtub until like four in the morning. It was one of those 'pinch me' moments.
But I try to steal other moments. Sometimes I get up very early in the morning and enjoy a quiet house and cup of tea before the craziness begins. Other times I'll take a quick walk on the beach. You can find peace in a few minutes.
Being a mom's so empowering and incredible. I'm one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason and if you just go with it that's where the best moments come from.
What is free time? I'm a single mother. My free moments are filled with loving my little girl.
I think one reason for a successful marriage is laughter. I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage.
I was gone so much in my first marriage. I love the moments when I engage with my youngest daughter now. It's not my thing to sit on the ground and play tea party but I'll do it because it's a moment that will stick with me forever.
True love is quiescent except in the nascent moments of true humility.
I just got one last thing I urge all of you all of you to enjoy your life the precious moments you have. To spend each day with some laughter and some thought to get you're emotions going.
Life all comes down to a few moments. This is one of them.
There are moments in life when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word it overflows and its secret Spilt on the ground like water can never be gathered together.
