I have reached the age when, oft, I have forgotten what I have forgotten…
until it – the experience (given life’s cyclicality) – comes ‘round again.
And when it does, this I notice. If a happy moment, higher my joy. If a sad moment, deeper my sorrow.
And all of it, greater still, grants me the grander blessing (given life’s commonality) of feeling…being akin with everyone who ever has lived, does live, and will live.
In this, I am one with the universe.

And even tho’ my sense of it fades, it is – as a gift of eternity – infinitely unforgettable.
