Sink down into the center of each flowering moment. What if the moment does not flower? Sink down into the center of the moment. What if I can't find the center? Sink down into the moment. What if the moment is gone? Sink down. What if I can't sink down? Then be still. The moment will find you. The center will surround you. The flower will bloom within you.
