:: for a fleeting moment ::

" Oh, to stop & breathe.

To focus, if only for a fleeting moment, on what is now,

without judging it, or seeking to escape it, or clinging to it.

To let its simmering ordinariness enter us through the doorways of our senses

and the windows of our intuitions.

To encounter it with such spacious awareness

that our place in the world is suddenly clear & clean as sunlight.

To have it break us open,

so that gratitude and compassion

spill from us like spring water from a split rock."
