But I don't strive for it. I see it sometimes (yes, when I'm present), and when I see it, I want it. When it's infused in a moment, it is both fleeting <i>and</i> eternal. In fact, I want it when, and because, it is both! <br /><br />If it's only eternal ... stone, hard, slow ... and can't be renewed or reborn, what does it bring? <i>Yet</i>, even a stone sings new tunes when we listen.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732202925039933709.post-44185580882032352392011-09-19T15:13:40.116+02:002011-09-19T15:13:40.116+02:00i find something contradictory in this, the desire...i find something contradictory in this, the desire to be eternal through creation and yet the fleetingness, the acceptance of the lovers to create for only an hour. how can these be equal when they are opposite? i wonder if the ego comes into play between the two. is it ego that wants of our creations to be eternal? and is it the more wise soul that allows love and poetry to be fleeting?<br /><br />we should allow everything it's spontaneous flight. don't you know, it comes back to lit the trees, whether we are present or not.<br /><br />i do not want of <i>eternal</i>. i want for my teeth into this moment but for a flashing instant. i am glad for this new place i am in. <br /><br />xo<br />erinerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636371927224076866noreply@blogger.com
