A light, a wonder, a thought.
I wake up. A thought, first thing in the morning. The sun shines on my face. How delightful is the warmth. The path to the window, a glance outside. But then the shock: The Earth is spinning.
– Unstoppably –
My head tilts toward the sky. A little cloud laughs. From left to right, the wind drives it. Its shadow dances across the grass. And everything lives. It moves forward. This beauty fills my heart with joy. My soul smiles, my body trembles. With happiness.
I rejoice. I’m not afraid. Why don’t I fear?
I know that everything moves, spins, lives with such ease that my worries and sorrows suddenly seem insignificant.
The way back from the window. Just a moment, it seemed to me. The world stood still.
– Frozen –
Yet the thought: A second. Eternity.
I think of a blade of grass, dancing in the wind, in a game of light and shadow.
