Every now and then one of these types of flashes come to mind–and I am always surprised by how physical, nearly cellular the memory is. The stomach rolls, my breathing alters, it is as if the embarassment happened minutes and not years ago. What is so briliant about your post is that it captures that some of these moments are huge and life changing and some are a stuck foot, seemingly small and yet they stay with us as indelibly as monuments. Whatever intensity we experience in that present is like a emotional snapshot that shuffles forward when we least expect. You have me thinking about the possibility of tempering their power.
