A Momentary Presentation


 A momentary presentation: 

through each moment, and no less than transformed again in subtle ways of being - what I am is complete, but only in a sense of becoming, always offering something new in my expression. Life is motion, a verb in endless conversation with itself. To this than, I am joined in life's conversation, being drawn to participate in my own transformation. As life, I am constantly becoming in a new reality, shifting in creative tone, a process of momentary presentation. 

what I am right now has never been before, although my memories tell me different. But once there was nothing of me to be found, a void of all but promise, and somehow this was fulfilled by a single cell. This is life defined by intent, that something will become in continuation, from cell in infinite division to first breath drawn completely on my own. I have never ceased in this becoming, transformed in every instant in seen and unseen ways. I am still defined by life's intent. 

this moment is new, a unique presentation of itself, never lasting even as I seek to hold a cherished view. My memories too belong only to this moment, a mental snapshot of an event or object that was already in process of being something other. Reality is found only here, right now, this particular momentary presentation, and its an art of changing view. By next glance life is already something other, my own observation has transformed me as well. As this, life in transformation, I find myself continued, with no idea of what is coming next. There is grace in the mystery of intent. And in this - I place my faith.
