The moment between
action and reaction
gives truth a chance
regardless of redaction.
That moment is suspended
in scene and tone –
the sound in between notes
a liminal zone.
That moment can be
filled with ritual,
which leads response
but it’s not perpetual.
That moment if lived
with full indifference
makes a pivot
to submit with reverence.
The truth of that moment
sees with God’s eyes,
hears with God ears,
and realizes reaction.

smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
