That moment...

Today I heard: "When you feel lost think of a moment when you were deeply happy."
The memory that came to me was of that moment on that ship in Turkey when I was looking up into the starry sky, alone and feeling utterly free. I had just let go and felt ready to just go with the flow, uncertain and yet secure, being all alone in an unknown place and yet feeling so at home, looking up into the night sky, so wide, so far, so open, and my being expanded and unfolded, I opened my arms and raised them towards the stars and deeply inhaled the night air. And I felt happy.
This feeling has stayed with me, like a sense of inner warmth, like a newfound key.
