when...

today,

i actually listened to the words as they slipped off my tongue,
i heard the knowledge flow through my particularly planned sentences,
i watched their faces,
and i saw it.
and i felt that peace.
that peace that is the part of that moment,
when...

you realize,
that you are exactly where you are supposed to be, doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing.

it really is too bad we can't feel this way everyday.

but i do know, if i did, i wouldn't appreciate it nearly enough.

when the moment arrives...
it is a gift.

a gift that can be romanticized for a long while.

it really doesn't matter how brief the moment was.

it was real.

and it held so much purpose, so many prayers,
and the whole of me.
