There's a time in your life when you are poised on
the precipice of eternity. When you have come as far as you have to go.
There is a time when everything seems all right
yet all seems so wrong. When you think it doesn't matter as well as it matters the
most. There is a time when you waft along effortlessly, balanced between
compulsion and free will. When the people around you smile and frown at the
same time.
What do you call such times?
There is a time when the light from the Sun seems
neither too harsh nor too gentle but just about right to soak up its warmth. A
time when you forgive yourself before you set out to forgive others. When you
don't hold anything against anyone.
There's a time when you do not want to go too slow
or too fast but just walk on without any thoughts of time, space or greed for
speed. There is a taste in your mouth some call bittersweet, but which can
perhaps better be described as divine. For it's a taste not only on your
tongue; it is felt also on your skin and in your ears and perceived in your
gaze and percolated right into the core of your being...That's when you know
you have arrived somewhere you always wanted to be, where you know you always
should have been living.
That time, that place, that wonderful moment can
only be described in one word. And that single powerful word, my dear friend,
is what gives the utmost meaning to our life: Now.
