First Post

Welcome to my world, won't you please have a seat
There's no need to worry. . . I'm the only one to meet
I just wanted to express myself to you
Undiluted and with nobody else to confuse
-Jude, "I'm Sorry Now"

Foolishness can happen in the woods.
Once again, please-
Let your hesitations be hushed.
Any moment, big or small,
Is a moment, after all.
Seize the moment, skies may fall
Any moment.

Days are made of moments,
All are worth exploring.
Many kinds of moments-
None is worth ignoring.
All we have are moments,
Memories for storing.
One would be so boring...
-Stephen Sondheim, Into the Woods, "Any Moment"
This is our world. This is my blog. Full of moments- big and small. Pulled apart to see what makes them tick. Their insides and guts exposed for all the world to see and pick through. In hopes that some wisdom might be gleaned, some issue worked out, some laugh evoked, or some reaction/release created. The end result being to free oneself. Recognize each moment's singularity and wholeness and then, with a step back, see it as only a small piece of the infinite multidimensional puzzle that is our life.

Interspersed with random (sometimes) funny quips, clips, and jokes- heard, seen, shared and discovered.

See you in the moments,
-Zachary

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass
-U2, "Stuck in a moment"

I'm so glad you've joined us here in the blogosphere! Blogs have seriously been the best way for me to get to know my new-ish family.

Also, I absolutely adore "Into the Woods." Would have been cast as the Baker's Wife my Sr. Year of HS if they hadn't changed their minds (they thought the songs weren't catchy enough) and produced Guys & Dolls. Would have been a much cooler role than Sarah Brown. At least I got to be in a bar fight, though...

Can't wait to read all about your NYC adventures.
