When Time Stands Still
There are some moments in our lives when Time slows into a stand still. When you want to arrest its advance. When you want the moments to live forever. When you want to archive every thought, every feeling, every word said and heard. When you want to document all you did. When you know that the sempiternal emotions are the best you have ever felt. When you want the sanguine mood to survive all your life. When you are in a delirium because your deepest desires turn into reality. When your endorphins get you into a high and you want to stay intoxicated. When you know you climbed the mountain and instead of beginning the downward journey, you jumped up and touched the clouds. When you know that the soaring has only begun and you can only go higher. When you know a new and exciting journey has just started. When you know you will forever remember how it all began. When it is all so precious you want to write everything down in letters of gold.
But at the same time, you begin to wonder at its speed - how fast it has flown. When you realize that it was not long ago when you were a completely different person. When you had braced yourself for years of effort. When it turns out to be only a matter of days. When it only takes one moment to change everything, one moment which comes out of the blue could hold power to steer your life in a new direction.
And, re-assured in the strength of time, you decide to let time take its own course, for you are so high on Pollyannaism that you know that nothing can go wrong. And what is destined will happen.

Stupid RSS Reader. what a goof-up. Anyway, no harm done. I was off by only a day.
All the stuff you wrote of course makes sense to you. Each is a generalization of one or more experiences. But for me/any reader to savour it, one has to have had an experience which fits into that generalization.
Sadly, that didn't happen for many statements (for me) - like in the Alchemist :)
Will bookmark this for a reading 5 years hence...
