My Son and the Cloud
Affirmation: I see, embrace and align with God in this moment. Love is here.
A gentle breeze touched my skin as my little son tugged on my shirt, indicating he wanted me to pick him up. As I did, he pointed overhead, where a large white cloud floated above our heads. The cloud slowly morphed into a new shape unique to that moment. The sun illuminated from above, as I felt my little son’s arm softly wrap around the back of my neck. My gaze shifted out across the landscape of a warm spring day.
I realized what we all understand from time to time. Everything in this experience is temporary. I let my son down, and he ran across our backyard.
That moment — when I picked him up, the cloud that we observed with wonder, high in the sky, his little arm around my neck — that moment passed. Beautiful, filled with love, empowered by God, that moment passed, as have countless others — fleeting, temporary, beautiful.
All is temporary but the Divine Presence, which enables all those sacred moments to be. In this moment, honor the Divine and all moments in the here and now.
Quotes
Moments vanish like breath on a mirror, but Spirit is the one thing that does not disappear.
— Author unknown, Indigenous Mayan teaching
It is a beautiful and true thought to realize that every person stands in the shadow of a mighty Mind, a pure Intelligence and a Divine givingness.
— Ernest Holmes, “The Science of Mind,” page 41
