A fleeting memory, a transient experience, a flicker of reality, a smidgeon in time - trifle in quantity but making up life's most memorable moments. Moments you'd like to go over and re-visit in your mind while you look up briefly from your work and gaze out out of your window at the world in front of you, when you're contemplating nature in your serenely thoughtful mood even as the world noisily whizzes by all around you with a hundred different sounds, when the conversation of your company brings a swift and wistful nostalgia, when the sight of something reminds you of familiar scenes, as scents stir up reminiscences...of moments lived, experienced, enjoyed. Some of them, strangely enough, tough times but forming beautiful memories to look back on.
Yeah, all things intangible. The reigning theme of my current blog posts! It's surprisingly wonderful how the most unquantifiable and non-material things in life are the the ones that are the richest. Rich in a value that cannot be measured but capable of giving you sublime happiness.
And happiness too is one of those small immeasurables.
'I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.'
Small little trifles that quietly sneak into your day when you least expect them, feather-touches of moments that are heavier than their weight in gold. And they punctiliously follow the axiom of 'Too much of anything is bad.' It's probably their breezing in and out of your life and lasting for that perfect flicker of time which makes them so immensely enjoyable and leaves you with a yearning for them.
Sigh! They're what make up life and everything about it that matters.
