temporary
Skimming from the tip of time arms lift into vast infinity. The ego refuses to yield to annilation: the oldest of us still impose our will upon that which will not remain. Like a child grasping a toy we believe we own our temporal lives to our last breath; possessing that which we may not keep. Running after a butterfly with the torm nets of childhood.
