Focal Point: An eschatological meditation

Just before dying
everything comes into focus
and the course of existence
is condensed
to a fraction of time

At that point
everything gains perspective
and it's easy to discern
the nugatory
from noetic

At that moment
lifetimes seem like milliseconds
& events become quantum fluctuations
as new symmetries are ascertained

>
Between Living and Dying
everything flows so fast
only Eternity itself
can pass

Lis:	It doesn't make sense: why do so many people wait till approachin' death ta do or say the things they should while livin'?
Ron:	(shrugging his shoulders) Seemz like our priorities argh warrrped.
Lex:	No doubt. If everything is up-for-sale, then nuthing is sacred.
Ron:	Yep. If pure capitalism prevails zen our lives become like sales kummodities 'n all aspects ah existence bekum open to sie highest bidder.
Linda:	Perhaps, butt a certain flexibility is useful. Hard-core fanatics err often incapable ah dealing wit people who dun't embrace dah same ideals as them. Dat sort of rigidity dusn' wark well in a multi-cultural whirld.
