AHA Moments
By Valerie Baeza
Pure magic;
and glimmers of new information—
that’s what AHA moments are.
They shift our perspective and expand the soul
like the jolt of a supercharged eclipse.
AHA moments wiggle out of us
tickled expressions of joy—
they become inspired desert breezes that live within us.
They transmute fiery messages
into something more truly, madly, and deeply embedded;
like a meditative Ahhh-haaa.
So inhale your AHA moment.
Breathe in through your nose,
and exhale your acceptance
s l o w l y.
Imagine that you are a lingering moonlit kiss.
Intake the shift in perspective for yourself,
and think, Ahhh...
Absorb the possibilities to their fullest.
Now exhale, Haaa...
With every magical breath that you draw from here on out, you are new.
In turn, you will inspire others’ AHA moments.
Because when we renew ourselves,
the collective will receive the benefits, as well.
Ahhh-haaa.
