My perfect moment from my life would be the first cries I heard when my twin boy and girl were born.

When my eyes teared up the moment my son was born.

Waking up not alone for the first time.

One time I accidentally stapled my finger. That would be pretty quick.

Dipping my feet in the warm Arabian sea, just as the sun sets. Looking out into nothing. Everything calm and still for that one second.

"platoon 3051, dismissed!!"

Perfect Moment. i thought about it heaps and to be honest its a pretty simple one. i was at school in my lit class and we watched/listened to a performance poet called shane koyczan. the imagery in that poem just hit me, and it was such a great moment. if anyones reading this check out his work, its amazing.

The moment I held my first daughter for the first time.

I know what it will be... but I have not experienced it yet. I promise to share it once it is mine to give.

Conception.

The moment for me would be the precise moment my brother passed. I don't know if you would consider that perfect but it has had the most profound effect on me. He was only 12 but lived a life of full of pain. That second felt like an hour of the most unimaginable experience that you can never prepare for.

one perfect moment in my life is when me and my dads side of the family were all sitting around a camp fire over the summer. We all sit around talk and tell jokes. (and of course eat smores)

Well most of the perfect moments in my life have lasted longer than 1 second. Except for the most important moment. I always say you live life in inches. An inch here or an inch there you will have totally different results. The night i met my wife, we were standing in a crowded bar. I looked to my right just as she was looking to her left and we locked eyes. It was only for a second, but that second was all i needed to know that she was the one for me. I put my arms around her the next time she walked by and that was all she wrote. We were married a year later and are going to be making the great film of life together. Could you imagine if i would have looked to my right a second to late or to soon. We might have never seen each other and I have no idea where i would be today. ;-)

If I could choose one perfect moment from my life to turn into a one-second film, it would have to be the moment the sun rose above the horizon after my night of camping in the Sahara outside Timbuktu. I'd woken up early that morning and was in the process of collecting sand with a young Tuareg child as the sky exploded from an inky black into a brilliant orange. I still have a vile of that sand at home.

Standing in the warm waters of the Pacific off Manuel Antonio Beach at around 3am in Costa Rica, with a beer in hand, to witness the brightest moon and starlit night.

Christmas morning, while I was still a kid and naïve. That one second when I'd wake up and remember what day it was.

If I could choose one perfect moment from my life to make into a one second film, it would be the first second I opened my eyes in this world. That's when the amazing adventure began for me.

I remember this one night about a year ago I was driving home around one or two in the morning so obviously it was dark out and there were stars like nobody's business...that night I had been extremely upset about the way things had been going with my boyfriend at the time, and I was worried about going to college and such and such and so on. Anyways, I'm sort of a romantic, and wish on stars all the time as a sort of habit-comfort thing...So I was driving along a dark road, the only car around, and I look up and see this beautiful bright vibrant star and I think "what the hell, why not" so I think about things and decide all I really want is for things to cheer up a bit...suddenly I noticed my star was flying away...I then realized I had wished on an air plane of all things...I began to laugh until I was making myself cry from laughing so hard...and ever since then, everything has been fantastic for me...=)
