transient: [tran-see-uhnt] adj. passing especially quickly into and out of existence; lasting only a short time
Catch, then, oh catch the transient hour;
Improve each moment as it flies!
Life ’s a short summer, man a flower;
He dies—alas! how soon he dies!
----Samuel Johnson

These are words that inspire me, words that make me see things that aren't there, words that dream dreams. And that I imagine would be a fabulous new addition to my vocabulary.

About Me
But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling like dew upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.
---Lord Byron
