A brief relief

Every once in a while, some thing happens that breaks you from the constant motion that you are going through in life; bringing that temporary relief where you can feel yourself breathing, seeing and living in a moment.

It could be during a daily routine that you have been doing your whole life, that silly game or a simple trivial question.

A mere second of clarity where your mind clears of all thoughts and let the truth sets in; as if you are outside of your physical self (looking on to your life and those around you).

For a moment, you can see it all happening; everyone getting caught up in a fantasy driven by our own fears, desires and delusions.

But yet ironically, you know this realisation is a gift that you just cant seem to hold on to. And before you know it, it slips away from you, and you slips back into that unconscious living that you are used to.

And all you can hope is some of that realisation remains within you to remind yourself about what is important (or not important) in life; and gives courage & wisdom for you to do the right thing before it consumes and blinds you.

Or at least the strength to hold on strong until the next brief relief.
