A PRETTY NICE CATCH

"Moments are such a slippery and ephemeral thing.
They come and go with the blink of an eye.
That is their beauty and their curse.
Miss too many moments, and you miss your entire life.

Detect the bloom, and you catch the soul of a person,
the spirit of a place.

What you really catch, of course, is your love of the world.
The sordid and the sublime.
The banal and the exceptional.
The big transcendent love of it all.

That's a pretty nice catch, I say.

Keep catching."                           "The Moment"    Achim Nowak
