"We are travelers on a cosmic journey, and this moment in time is a little parenthesis in eternity. Life is eternal, but the expressions of life are momentary and transient. Buddha once said, 'This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds... A lifetime is like a flash of lightening in the sky, rushing by like a torrent down a steep mountain.'
We have stopped for a moment to encounter one another, to meet, to love, to share. If we share with caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for one another. And then this moment will have been worthwhile."
