Believe in the potential arising in every moment.
This is translated through words or better yet,
it is best to be left untranslated,
then all that is left is a moment's breath.

Do you ever count the seconds?
Do you ever wonder how many breaths,
are in one hour? One minute?

Single your attention down to a core of simplicity.
.....this pen.....this page......
These words could not exist without all of these things,
including myself, to write the words.

In fact nothing could exist without this fly buzzing around my head.
I want to smack it,
but I would only be slapping the face of a boy,
dying of cancer.

Because the scientist who discovered the cure could not have done it,
if this fly had not landed on his hand,
and he spilled his test tube,
illuminating mind sparks. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 43 [informant] => zenmind [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Thanks for sharing this -

You are very thoughtful and your words provoke thought in others.

I think we all have wondered these things - and yet somehow couldn't have said it so well.

very interesting ... thought provoking piece.

"Illuminating mind sparks" I really like the image those words bring to me ...
