we all expect something extraordinary to happen to us

this is the great merit of this magician called life.
it deceives us and passes us by from moment to moment
from birth to the great gate

most are disappointed. that extraordinary thing,
the great thing dreamed of and expected, did not happen
or maybe... it was not the time yet... or the place

there are people who are satisfied because life has offered them many moments
not extraordinary but precious enough
to be kept in their souls for an eternity

and yes. they are happy people. they enjoy every moment offered
they have the power to transform the everyday into extraordinary
as if epiphany is normal

happy are all those rich in memorable moments
because eternity will remain theirs
painted in tastes and colors
