A Spark by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe from The Vision, chapter 38
“Beautiful moments don't exactly tap us on the shoulder, or shout out for attention. They are there, quiet, waiting to be discovered by those who stay true to themselves.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 38
The walk-through
A beautiful moment is quiet. It won’t nudge you or raise its voice; it just sits there, “waiting to be discovered by those who stay true to themselves.”
Innocent calls them silver linings in dark clouds — moments that make you appreciate the life you have and, in the same breath, want to improve it. Your life turns out to have more value than you thought. Dark times and sunny days set each other off: lack makes abundance easier to appreciate and keeps your view of life grounded, while abundance sharpens the lessons that lack taught.
The moment itself is a kind of epiphany. It hits you that you are, mentally, “in a unique and special space.” Wasted effort stops stinging and starts teaching. All of it comes down to perception and an open mind, which is why he doubts anyone can be taught this directly; as different as we are, we each learn our own way.
