Poetry – This moment – the third in my humanist secular ritual poems for all people.
This Moment
To give thanks for life is enough. It is not necessary to attribute a creator. To give thanks for the universe does not need to imply an intelligent force. To acknowledge the beauty and wonder does not require a supernatural force.
It is sufficient to feel it, take joy in it and exalt in the beauty, wonder and awe.
Each one of us is free to believe whatever they like.
Whatever a man or woman may believe does not detract from the ecstasy of experiencing each moment to its fullest extent.
Each moment is precious.
Life is short.
Our task is surely to maximise our experience and love, love, love.
This Moment
Through many roads and twist of fate
We come to this moment.
We are thankful
For the string of moments
We will possess.
For these moments
Are our window into the world.
It is better to experience
Than not.
It is our time
In this moment
To soak in the wonders
Until our spirits
Are saturated
With wonder.
We are thankful
To have evolved brains
That contrive consciousness
And reason,
A body that has evolved
With the ability
To realise the splendour
Of this planet.
