An Elusive Idea

The concept of time has been bantered about by scientists, writers, and philosophers since man crawled from the ocean, climbed down from a tree, or had some sort of divine beginning. Although its progression is constant and continuous, sometimes, during stressful situations, it seems to slow to a crawl ... and pleasurable events often pass with the blink of an eye.

The elusive idea, or concept we are searching for, happens but once in a minute. It seems so insiginificant, we don't give it a single thought ... rarely, have I known anyone to focus on it. Yet, the concept of a moment, very similiar in nature to the minute, always enjoys a couple of these.

What is this elusive idea we seek?

I tried to be vague in an attempt to draw attention away from the words "minute" and "moment", but you saw right through it ... yes, "m" is the idea in question.

If it makes you feel better it took me 45 minutes of puzzling over it to see it.

Love this kind of puzzles - you can puzzle over them for hours and then realise it's been staring you right in the face. Awesome.
