[This Momentous] Moment

I experience moments
    of intense happiness,
moments when this moment
    is enough,
when I forget the past moment
    and stop desiring the next moment
and discover how the current moment
    contains all that's necessary.

I am full, content, satisfied.

All other moments combined,
    whether remembered or imagined,
are worth nothing compared to this moment--
    this momentous moment.
