CREATIVE CHALLENGE: A FEW MINUTES


In less than a few minutes,
You can smile at someone,
Smell a flower, hear the crickets
Chirping in the dewy grass,
Listen to the voice of silence,
Start dancing or start crying,
Say the ‘Yes, I do’ that will change
Your life forever,
or
Say the ‘No’ that you may regret later.
In less than a few minutes,
You can feel the bitterness of defeat
or
The thrill of victory,
The fear of uncertainty
or
The illusion of security.
In less than a few minutes,
You can love, share, forgive,
 Wait and always be who you are...
In less than a few minutes,
You can save one’s life
or
Make someone feel happy
and...
Realize that the eternity
Is not in a few minutes, not in a minute,
but,
In the current moment!

  9. I see...so this is not that old charming railway station.

    I have this blog for a while, but never open it (only very few personal postings), since really not much to share, but after this big trip, maybe I can start again. :)
