It’s Time to Focus on Anticipation and Pleasure

We willingly connect our lives to bevelled gears that move in sync. They keep precisely measured time. A counted life, allotments made.

We dedicate a plan to change and focus on performance tasks to push toward our ordered goal.

And in a slow and stately dance a minuet of formal steps designed to cross the finish line. Slow motion as we break the tape.

When we finally make the shift within a second truth’s revealed. We split the instant into two: anticipation of before and pleasure as the line is crossed.

We sit within a changeless state.

Within this holy moment lies escape from measurement of guilt. Remembering eternity at last there is a space for peace.
