If we are present in the moment, the moment lives on with us.
If we enjoy the moment in its full sweetness, the taste lingers on our tongues and clings to our sticky fingers.
If we experience the moment in its full color, that color shines and brightens the insides of our eyelids when we close our eyes and remember.
If we absorb the moment's rhythm and hear the sound our heart is making, we feel that rhythm long after, and hear the sweet strains as we replay the moment in our mind.
If we are not present, if we fail to be there, the moment fades back into the flow of time, indistinguishable from the endless gray moments on the endless gray line.
