Have I seen you here before?

Each moment is a place you've never been.  Mark Strand

You've never been here before. Oh it may look like a place you've been, it may feel like a place you've been, but it isn't a place you have ever been.  Why do I say that (and why does Strand say it)?  Because even though the moment may look and feel familiar you have never been it it with what you know right now.  Since the last time you were in a similar moment you've lived more life and gained more experience.  That changes the moment.  So see, you haven't ever been in this moment.  It's new because of the life you've lived since the last time it came around.  Appreciate the moment and watch out - it will come out around again but it will be new to you, as if you've never been in it except you'll know why next time.
