What defines a moment?

What defines a moment?
What makes one? Is there certain ingredients, what needs to happen?
A smell, a sound, a feeling, a picture, an image, a song?
Does every sense become involved, do we need but one?
Does our brain take a mental picture and store it away; a video clip, a recording, a mental camera of the day. For a certain time when we recall, a certain smell, a certain song.
Does one brain record this randomly or is it a specific, what recreates it, why do we have it?
A moment of hate, a moment of love, desire,  happy times and sad. Of heartbreak, of longing, of good days and bad. Sometimes spontaneous, sometimes specific, important or irrelevant.

Do we make a moment, or does a moment make us?

A song that meant something with friends: a drunken memory in a flash.
A smell of a beloved: the cold night air, you and I beneath the stars.

An uncovered truth, a shameful act, an achievement, a moment of glee.
Are we the moment, or is the moment us?

Is it a moment as it marks a specific point in time or in our lives, a time, a mark of redefinement in our lives. A mark of sheer joy or dismay, an epiphany of enlightenment, shame or regret.
Or just a distant memory, a recollection of a happening long ago.

What makes a moment?
The head, the heart, the senses, the person, the time or the place?
Can we create a moment, or can only the moment create itself?
Can a moment not be made?
Is it a spontaneous action,
a memory; created unintentionally, to bring a smile, a tear, a laugh.
The realization that the memory and moment is unique to you and only you, never the exact same as anothers.
A moment can be remembered together and made together with another or many others, but its forever unique to you.
Your thoughts, your feelings your mindset now and at the time are yours alone.
A moment is yours for the taking, let it take you or you can take it, but take and create as many as you can, by seeing new sights, tasting new foods, experiencing new smells, people, places and things.
Watching, listening, smelling, feeling, sensing this busy extraordinary world.

Stop for a moment, to make a moment, to feel a moment, to see a moment.
Make as many as you can.
A moment can define you or you can define a moment.

The more unusual, unique memories you make of unique times, places, people and things,
The more experiences you have, you share and feel.
The more defined you become as a person.
An individual who makes their mark and leaves it on this mighty world we share.
Do we make a moment, take a moment, does a moment make or take us? Do we care?
We have these moments, we are these moments, and therefore we should share.
