SUMMER SNOWFLAKES: Some Reflections on Transience

IMAGE: Some auric flowers in summer vanishing into white noise

	Snowflakes in summer?
	Blossoms in fall?
	Fresh leaves in winter?

	In the sweep of time
	all things happen
	before vanishing
	once and & all.


Anya:  (frowning) If we regard things as dead while living, how can we ever appreciate life?

Brice:  (nodding) Indeed. Isn't that why priests are often so morbid?

Carlos: (sipping a small glass of Nocello with mineral water) Well, if you focus on
        just a few parts of reality and ignore other parts, almost any mental state is possible.
