"The Moment"

"Time stops, split to it's smallest measure, and becomes a thing so fine there's no before, no after, no past, no future, nor even what lies between. There is only who you are and what you want. You make no decision, yet everything is decided. Later, you won't remember how things came to be. This you'll call Fate or god or Destiny. Athletes know this moment. Soldiers and presidents know it too. Whole lives, whole armies, whole nations move through it. Wars and kingdoms are won and lost inside it. The moment is sensed, not seen." - Jeff MacGregor
