Its an old photo, but one of my favourites.
Every moment explodes into being before fading forever into memory. Are moments in time variable in importance in the context of eternity? The moment comes, and then it is gone. If we were to imagine a scale of importance, what would be our criteria? Some moments have a quality that makes it more likely that they will be remembered, but does that create a valid hierarchy? Let’s consider human beings instead. Some humans conquer empires, create timeless artistic masterpieces or amass vast fortunes; some lead lives of dull, painful desperation, every step mired in misfortune. Should a life be long or short, generous or miserly? These are important qualities, to be sure, but few would ague that anybody’s life is intrinsically less important. Black Lives Matter…AND…Every life matters. The same could be said of moments in time, which is why the practice of mindfulness has become so popular – Every moment matters.
