This sounds profound and wonderful, though I'm not sure I grok the
wholeness. This appears to be two sentences with a fragment between them such
that I can't tell if the fragment goes with the first sentence or the last
one. "Very much live all seconds - while one second happens - Ten thousand
lives are done living."
While reading it, I can feel the wind in my hair. My nostrils flare. I
hold a weapon (ANY weapon) before me, facing the beautiful challenge each
second holds for me... Though I still don't quite know what it means.
I know that it is a call to attention. I know that it tells me to face
the world with a quality of attention to each second as if it contained many
lives. Or maybe it is that ten thousand lives are ended in one second, and
maybe I should live all seconds as if my own life were about to end. Or...
