Seer (A collection of Vignettes/Short(ish) stories)
” Your poetry and short stories are surrealistic and not unlike haiku with their nature imagery and things left unsaid.”
San Jose Mercury News, Jim, Reporter, Personal Communication

Kairos and Chronos
Innocence, feeling understood for one moment,
KAIROS
A God moment…….being born anew……..Zen mind freshness……
a lovely dancing, floating
reaches the heart and mind
then, like the beautifully crafted note of a flute
the wispiness of a dawn cloud….
vanishing….into mist
CHRONOS.
the moment passes………………..gone………………….. but not lost
sound sight feeling
linger whimsically

J’s comment very sweet and ephemeral, like its contents; and yes, it makes sense. I think it is saying that that moment of being understood by another creates a delightful feeling, like a beautiful music note or a floating cloud; I think this is a moment of Kairos, being born anew (state of innocence) ; then comes chronos: it vanishes quickly, and yet … its essence lingers; and when this happens, it is a feeling of oneness and connectedness with the world .
