For An Instant

"Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?" - Henry David Thoreau

Powerful sentence...that ends with "for an instant".  What if we (I) lived our (my) lives for the instant? What if we (I) took the small window of opportunity and used it to express our (my) love, our (my) caring -uplifting words, our (my) listening ears, and our (my) shoulders to lean on?

I feel lately that I've missed opportunities to do this. It's been eating at me, so it's obviously something I need to work on.  I'm sorry to those around me that I love dearly for the instants that I've missed.

Do you take advantage of your "instants"?
