		<description><![CDATA[Moments change lives &#8211; sometimes irrevocably, sometimes momentarily, all too often unnoticed. If we stop and think about it we&#8217;d say that our lives were full of moments.

		<description><![CDATA[It was late. We were driving home after an evening out. I was starring blankly out the car window when a light caught the corner of my eye.
