On Time

Oh not because happiness exists
that too-hasty profit snatched from approaching loss.
But because truly being here is so much
because everything here apparently needs us, this fleeting world
which in some strange way
keeps calling to us.
Us, the most fleeting of all

-excerpt from The Ninth Duino Elegy, Rainer Maria Rilke
