"Come into being as you pass away."
Jesus,
Gospel of Thomas
Evening-Primrose blossoms often last only a day or two, but they are extremely fragrant. To me they are a supreme embodiment of the principle that each and every moment is like a fireworks explosion: in the very instant when the display is most intense, it is also in the process of disintegrating. In fact, the appearance of things IS their disintegration.
