What then are we to do
with all those moments
when the eye stops
the heart
That gesture there, that glint
of beauty going by
And the thought, Who will remember it
if I don’t?
That daub of heaven
on a half-lowered eye-
lid

try to take in and hold the memory
yes!
I’m not sure if we are supposed to hold onto these moments, but rather, learn to sit in the presence of it’s beauty. 🌿🌈
Or Both!

Thank you for sharing this daub of heaven with us! How poignant: “the thought, Who will remember it if I don’t?” I believe that is why we want to share especially what is indescribably beautiful.
So agree Valerie.
