The Meaning of Moments

By most standards I'm getting old.  I'm in my seventh decade of life.  Thinking about the last six decades has given me a perspective that can only be understood as one might understand the import of a summer vacation away from home or making a trip to an unsual place might be understood in retrospect after many years.  One perception is that every moment we live is like a brick placed into a foundation.  Teh foundation is the set of our experiences on which our future life will rest.  It will contain the values or fulfillment we wish it to only if we are thoughtful about which and what kind of bricks of experience we build into its everyday construction.
