1 I cannot waste my moments; I must use all that I am given.
2 I cannot waste my moments; I must savor each one.
1 Life holds too many moments to slow down.
2 Life holds too many moments to pass any by.
1 Life’s moments are not just for you; they are to pass on.
2 That is so.
1 What good is a well-worn moment?
2 What good is an ill-worn moment?
1 A moment is to taste for one’s self.
2 A moment belongs to one’s self.
1 Yet they are to pass.
2 That is so.
1 All is to pass.
2 That is so.
1 You cannot keep.
2 That is so.
1 To hold is folly.
2 To cherish is not.
1 To abuse is not to cherish.
2 Not to cherish is to abuse.
1 To hold is not to cherish.
2 That is to idolize.
1 That is so.
2 To savor is not to idolize
1 To savor is not to hold
2 To savor is to cherish.
Blade Runner
I thought of a line from Blade Runner when I read this, don’t really know why. It’s said by Roy Batty before he ‘dies,’ it goes something like this…
“All of these memories will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”
I take it to mean that our memories will not last forever and eventually some of these ‘moments’ will be gone and although I acknowledge the importance of not taking ‘moments’ for granted I also propose that we must always know that they’ll eventually be gone… I’m not a pessemist but there’s a sweet melancholy that is good for you.
