Sherman Kennon is a contemporary poet and writer known for meditative reflections on time, impermanence, and mindfulness. His work urges readers to embrace the present moment with full awareness and gratitude.
“A silent breeze swept away a moment, one that never can be recaptured, never can it be relived. So it is for us to cherish the moments, cherish them with all of our might. For just as an eagle in flight, they are transient, soon vanishing like the moon as day return the light.”
