Instant

“The infinite is in the finite of every instant”
Zen Proverb
In the medium of an instant
the delirium is not distant
since time materializes

Tedium is existent
when equilibrium is consistent
beginnings mind realizes

Right now? How small is that now? Is it smaller than the time took to conjugate the thought? Is it even possible to utter the word NOW and then not refer to the past? That single moment, an instant is the basic unit of time.  But could we ever observe it, feel it, or experience it in its true speed?

Did you know that the current official definition of the second is the time it takes for 9 192 631 770 oscillations of the Cesium atom at zero magnetic field.
