Wow Moments

I get it now…

it’s not about
momentous events

it’s about
memorable moments

moments that 
take your breath away

being in the moment
with your whole being

being at one
with the universe

wherever
that may be

Line, I’ve just reread this. I’ve already commented on this poem. Perhaps the true test of beauty is that it grows more lovely with closer examination. I especially love the contrast between “momentous events” and “memorable moments” a FAVe for me :)
