Give This Moment Affection

Delight in this second Spin her around in your feeling machine. Laugh if she sits on the edge, grinning at you with her all-knowing look. Savor that look because you might spend eons re-living it. This might be the best glance, and the most terrific feeling you will ever have. Give this moment affection. Treat her with kindness. Revel in her fantastic attitude. Squeeze her in a heartfelt way. There is always the chance That this second, this moment, This glimpse, this person, this day, might be the only second left.

The closer I get to my next incarnation, the sillier I can be.

Hi Caren, I must say I enjoyed it immensely. I am also half fatalistic, We must enjoy the moment because it may be the last ... Congratulations, alkas.

Why not? Often they are much brighter than the masses.
