in a life defined by moments - using the selective filter of hindsight - it appears to be arranged with some precision like a string of pearls.
a string of pearls comprised of moments that represent choices - and not the binary choices of childhood in which the present moving towards the future is defined by either/or, right/wrong, good or bad but the full spectrum of choices, the grey scale, the circle.
imagine the circle becoming a limitless space.
timeless.
without definition.
a space.
the long and full present moment.
how would you choose to fill it?
with what quality would you live your life if instead of recognizing the quality of a moment as a transitory thing in which you could do either the right thing or the wrong thing, what if you could see instead a fathomless formless space into which all these moments coalesce and become one great deliquescent moment?
oh give me wings
for my back,
shining wings
which seek
only virtue
