So briefly do we raise our heads, so quick sink back. For a moment we are lifted by a wave of time, are tossed up into the sunlight of consciousness We cannot see so far as where this wave began, but maybe we have waited some thousand years for it to come, and now it is on us. This is our moment, the wave is breaking. The crest which passes through us now in tumult was shaped by the past, and we in this moment are able to shape the crest which is to come.

Is left behind; what never was is now;
And every passing moment is renewed.

When he copes, he feels better.

Catch it in Asia. Catch it in Europe. Catch it all over the world.
