One Beautiful Moment

(excerpt from Lenses, a collection of short essays, in search of a publisher)

God imagined one fleeting moment − a butterfly fluttering above a pond at sunset. And He created the universe − all the past and all the future − to make that moment happen.
Any moment, in all its detail, would require the miracle of all of creation.
The creation of any being would require all of creation.
Perhaps there was no beginning and will be no end, and every moment we witness the miraculous creation of everything and everyone.
