Each moment

Deserves the special place of privilege

We hesitate to allow

Ourselves to acknowledge

 

For since we are not gods

It must stay unknown to us

In which of these moments

Our lives will be transformed

 

This is the power of the sacred

And the sacrality within each of us

That our lives and world may be changed

In the blink of our human eyes
