ksana is the Sanskrit word designating the smallest interval of time. It is the 90th part of a thought. When a man snaps his fingers, 63 ksanas have gone by – and within each passing ksana there are 900 instances of arising and ceasing.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
			                  - William Blake

L'heure suspendue is a musical piece of Andre Hamel (Quebec) for FlyingCan (new invented instrument by Jean-François Laporte) and real time process. 

in the whirlwind of their embrace
suddenly time seems to stop
and suspended in the abyss of each other’s gaze
they feel overcome by a pleasant and violent grasp of their existence
keenly aware that, extricated from the course of time,
the moment was eternal
and would never come back

Part of an unfinished cycle of eight works for instruments and treatment in real time and based on the
cycle of hours, L’heure suspendue is the ninth. It is the moment outside time.
