Take advantage of these moments.

For everyone

Take advantage of these moments.

The music is Melody Gardot, A La Tour Eiffel.

The place is the Detroit River, inside my car, in the back seat. Alone.

It is 10 p.m., and a lightning show in the sky is happening. Another thunderstorm is in the forecast in a few hours, and we had one just a couple of hours ago. Right now is the half time show. Rain has begun falling again.

I was always in favour of Being Here or There, wherever the Natural action was happening, be they eclipses or rainbows or the like.

As I get older, I am much more keen to take advantage of these moments.

So I drove, what, 15 minutes, to sit alongside the water, gazing into Windsor from Detroit, watching a spontaneous, dazzling light show for as long as it lasts or until I get tired and want to go home.

The above is a picture of the clouds. Can’t you tell? I tried to get a picture of the lightning. Yeah, no.
