THE JEWEL WITHIN THE FLEETING MOMENT
beyond the veils of language
and the noise of activity,
the most profound events of our lives
take place in those fleeting moments
where something else shines through,
something that can never be fixed in language,
something given as quietly as the gift of your next breath.
Days and nights unfold in the confidence and continuity of sequence.
Most days take no notice of us;
but then every so often there is a moment
when time seems to crystallize.
A voice changes tone and a deeper music becomes audible.
A gaze holds and a hidden presence is glimpsed.
