A three day old baby Alpaca stands next to its mother in a lovely moment. A baby Alpaca is called a cria and the mother has recently been shorn. Their wool is much sought after in the weaving and fashion circles because of its softness, high quality fibre and range of colours.

If you had one shot or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted, one moment. Would you capture it? Or just let it slip by? ~the opening words of the song ‘Lose Yourself’ by Eminem

Eminem whose real name is Marshall Mathers has written much music and performed at many concerts. He may not be everyone’s cup of tea but his music speaks a language of its own. Many can relate to it particularly young people. He touches beautifully on the whole idea of seizing or loosing a moment of opportunity. Every day presents us with many of these moments. We may say that so many of these come together, we cannot choose. This may be so but the ones of meaningful value usually tend to stand out. Choosing which programme to watch on television later this evening fades into total insignificance when compared to asking someone how they are or saying well done in recognition of work done or a simple thank you as way of appreciation. As Enimen says, we can capture these moments and make them happen or we can let them slip. Will you capture or let them slip today?
