In the transitory and the ephemeral we discover eternity. Thank you for such a beautiful poem!Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209551489584694322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010494928772077300.post-90813341147658872412013-06-28T15:06:30.853+02:002013-06-28T15:06:30.853+02:00Dear David, thank you so much for drawing out what...Dear David, thank you so much for drawing out what I have wished to express here. Yes, it is only when we ourselves go through such experiences that life shows itself to us in such a way. Only in such moments do we truly see how brief, how fragile a life can be.<br />I am really grateful for your words.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11344595922514131573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010494928772077300.post-15091262369279135172013-06-27T10:40:18.180+02:002013-06-27T10:40:18.180+02:00Emma, what moves me is the fragility which you con...Emma, what moves me is the fragility which you convey here. The fragility of the butterfly, of course - but also the fragility of life itself. Such a brief moment between one eternity and the next, but for your butterfly - and for us as well - such sweetness, such pain, such tenacity is experienced in that momentary fluttering of wings. The more we become aware of this precious brevity, the less time we give to those things which only take away from us what is of little merit, and the more time we give to those things of true value, and work, love and live in the little-enough time given to us. If I may quote a well-known Zen poem by Takuan:<br /><br />This day will not come again,<br />each minute worth a priceless gem.Hawkwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07993700120131916459noreply@blogger.com
