"To end our fixation with moments." So beautiful. (Although I just finished the sci fi novel "Skyward Inn" last night and the connotations of most of this essay become very creepy within that context! Not your intention obviously, just within the idea of books and experiences it's funny how the two are intersecting for me right now.)
Your last paragraph was exactly what I needed to read today even though today is several days after you published this post. It waited for me to discover I guess. Here’s to continuity.
There are some very very very rare (did I say very?) moments that I can be at peace with the ephemeral nature of it all, and in those moments the grasping onto "my" life relaxes.
The solid, unending feeling of things is persuasive. I wonder if it could be both? Both existing and not existing? Maybe time itself is the greatest illusion.
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for another awesome and beautiful read.
