We are made up of moments...
Time has been a good friend to me these days
helping me live in the moment
that made these moments happen
During the storms here we play spectator because our porch is inviting
and weather here is beautiful and intense.
We could not help but watch... until a lighting bolt hit too close... we jumped and were sent running for cover.
We were left in awe of its power and all out of breath.
No electricity for a day and no cable or internet for over a week... we took a moment to be unplugged
truly forced by nature.
All the while the world was competing and yelling for their favorite team ...
we gave in to southern living ...slept, ate and played
What would you do if time stopped just for you?
How would you spend it?
Even though we missed the games this song is on repeat in my ...home.
They were meticulously calculated and planned.
Much like olympic players watching the clock and planning our every move.
Currently my camera phone has been busy capturing as if time has stopped.

A few favorite mentions:
Now feeling a lot like Sarah "stealing time"... I am so looking forward to getting her unique publication in the mail. Which I will talk about more once I get my copy. Also thankful for Alison who made my week mentioning me in her beautifully written post. I now stalk her. Would love to get my hands on this journal, and sneak into Susan's mind. She writes so freely about love and other mysteries. Check out this great post about my new favorite chill spot in Savannah. I love their lattes.
It looks like a magical few days Alma! I love that you fully embraced the opportunity to be unplugged, and it seems to have done you good. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Clare! Your table at the show looks great at the show. You are an inspiration... doing what you love and creating beautiful things every day. Must check out your shop soon.
DeleteOh, Alma, Your babies are adorable. A scary moment from nature with the lightening storm, but I'm so pleased the enforced off-line time was an opportunity for you rather than an inconvenience. What a lovely way to look at it. Thanks for stopping by my place, I'm now following your gorgeous blog.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know more about the music you have called Amelie on your blog. My middle one is named Amelie and it's a beautiful piece I've never heard of before.
Cara, the music is part of the soundtrack to one of my favorite French movies ever, named Amelie. You will love it because you have a creative mind.
DeleteThanks for your comment and the follow. You have put a smile on my face on a rainy day over here!
Great post! Love the thoughts and collage pictures.
ReplyDeleteWe lost power for 5 days last summer. My husband near went out of his mind but I thought it was fun. We sat on the porch at night. My husband played guitar, I read, the kids played and when it was dark, it was really dark! and we went in and we went to bed!
We read , played lots of games, visited friends and I got some knitting done too.
DeleteWe think we will make for some days to be unplugged just for the fun of it.
Me gustaria estar desconectada por tu tormenta....aqui la naturaleza tambien intenta desconectarnos pero a base de calor..estas dos ultimas noches es practicamente imposible dormir...
ReplyDeletea pesar de elli,debemos seguir el ritmo diario pero se hace muy dficil!

Preciosas tus fotos...tu chal parece ya listo!!!
Adoro Amelie...es una de las peliculas del cine de mi vida..
besos y abrazos y mas ratos de unplugged para nosotras dos...love I.
It's so refreshing when we can just unplug; no matter how it happens. So glad you were okay after the storm!
