Dear Fleeting Moment,
Before this one passes, I will try to say it fast
Don't' need no rosie colored glasses, to know it's hard to make one last.
You pass by, before we know it - the next one waiting there in line,
to press the hands a little faster, stealing moves from father time.
60 seconds blows by without warning, like a furious jet plane,
passengers like Ozzy Osborne, all aboard the crazy train.
Trying to beat the clock or tame it, no one has figured out just how,
to stretch it even a little bit - you have to live it now.
So, that was my 60 seconds, did I convey what's on my mind?
If not then, come back in a minute, and I'll give it one more try.
Here for the duration,
Life's Apprentice - K

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

Ahh- love this one, Kelli! “you have to live it now” Such a powerful line! 💫
A beautiful, whimsical tilt at Process Theology! Every moment a little packet of time moving to the next & to the next & on & on. Ah, Kelli, you take me back to my days in seminary. Now if we just had some of the "John Locke" graffiti scribbled inside the door of the bathroom stall, all would be complete. (Loved the poem, btw.)
This is the ultimate truth. Time just doesn't get tired, does it
this. is. great!
That is great, and yeah time sure flies.
❤️😉
Moment well spent. Good one, Kelli!
