Just a Moment

Just a moment..... A whale breaches the surface and soars into the air, an eagle swoops down and plucks a fish from the water swimming without care,  a woman gives birth, another miracle being on planet earth, joins the human race as we awkwardly evolve into outer space,  just as an old man slips away into death's final embrace after living a lifetime visible in each wrinkle on his weathered face. ....  a child is starving as a mother helplessly watches with pain in her heart and disgrace on her face, begging the Gods for mercy and to be in some other place....  a volcano erupts, spewing the gut of history into the sky, as a young boy becomes a man with the future in his eyes,   a rocket blasts off carrying humans deep into space in a leap of faith heretofore unknown for a date with history far from home...... Moments that capture the eternal from the desperately fleeting. These are instantaneous moments of joy, exhilaration, pain, and sadness that span the spectrum and devotion of human emotion......all intertwined to form the essence of life.   We have endlessly struggled throughout time to define what we are and why. Perhaps to define, its like a fine wine that has undergone a resembling activity over time..... our experiences and knowledge get passed on, not unlike the process of a fermenting wine.....  all the moments of our lives are each a frame of a film that takes a lifetime to produce.  Nearing the end we get a preview of sorts, a sneak peek, a sip of the wine that has defined our time. It streams endlessly in our mind, so have a seat, enjoy the wine, and don't eat too much popcorn, it's showtime, no spoiler alert, there is no doubt because no one knows the ending until the final moments have played out.
