Because This Moment Simply Is

Byrds: I Am A Pilgrim

Soul Stirrers: I Am A Pilgrim




Why me?
That is a very Earthling question
to ask, Mr. Pilgrim.
Why you? Why us for that matter?
Why anything?
Because this moment simply is.
Have you ever seen bugs
trapped in amber?
Yes.
Well, here we are, Mr. Pilgrim, trapped in the amber
of this moment.
There is no why.

--Kurt Vonnegut
