    [09.23.24] A fantastic one-minute play! A powerful moment is captured here, full of love and affection. I really admire the piece’s dialogue, succinct and crafted with aplomb.

    Meditation apps are always telling us to live in the moment because that's where the best living is to be had. Martin's play reminds us of that simple fact. I know it's easy to get caught up in the day to day but Win and Tim have discovered something that would help us all--be in the moment because you never know how many of those you have!

    This could almost be a taoist poem. More dialogue would ruin it. Instead, in a very few words, Martin makes us feel Win's deep contentment, how Win is present with Tim and yet undisturbed by Tim's anxiety. Without promising anything it can't deliver, the play gives us a satisfying, resonant miniature touchstone for inner peace and mental health.
