memory of an instant

this phrase defines a whole world to me, like so many things happen in an instant and they change your life forever. they stay with you, in your visions, in your dreams, in your encounters with people. they flash before your eyes, sometimes seemingly meaningless and yet why this one and not another. and you begin to love them, they make you you. they connect you to this world, to this life. it is beauty. it is the calm before the storm. is the raindrop, falling. flash. and it's gone. remaining. here. now.
