A moment,
Felt that -
Got everything!
Another moment,
Felt that -
Lost everything!
Between these two thrilling moments,
The journey is -
From egoism to meekness,
From excitation to calmness,
From inattentiveness to contemplation,
From suspension to meditation,
From paralogism to truth,
From illusion to sooth.
For centuries
In making
A human being to a good human being,
This journey has faithfully done its work,
This sequence will continue even further.

Great historical and spiritual poem! Indeed, there is so much that happens moment to moment. Yet each moment is it’s own event and universe.
Hearty thanks dear friend
