Analysis of Eternal Moments



Sometimes one does not need a challenge.
Indeed sometimes what comes to us when we're completely at ease with ourselves,
are the most profound.

When we can stop for a moment to simply love ourselves...

To do so with no judgment of others or comparisons.
With sins of vanity and pride left to wither with are lesser selves.

To simply love ourselves and be the type of people worthy of that love

Then...perhaps...is the time.
The time not to feel happiness;
which comes and goes...
ebbs and flows....
and recedes
Recedes, like the mortal spark from which these happy moments are born.

No...
let us feel joy;
and in that moment, lose moments.
And finally distinguish fleeting from Eternal.
