Five minutes

Five minutes before I loose sight of the cove
Five minutes before the clouds engulf the mountains
Five minutes before the ship turns and distorts the perspective
Five minutes before we are blinded by the fog.

Five minutes to focus and reproduce.
Five minutes to stop thinking.

Five minutes of this tight frame.
Five minutes of tight constraints.
Five minutes of unidirectionality.
Five minutes of freedom.
Five minutes of flow, then stop.

Five minutes then it had to dry.
Five minutes then I stepped back.
Five minutes then I started thinking again.
Five minutes then I looked around.
Five minutes then came the next five minutes ■

The image passed from the eye to the hand. The brain was short-circuited. I think we can talk about mindfulness and present moment when thoughts disappear
