A friend said to me........
If time, as taught by the Buddha, is the measurement of change,
then the timeless is that beyond change - Enlightenment!

You can only think of the past when you
are experiencing "Now"
You can only dream of the future when you are experiencing the "Now"
You are in the condition of your "Now" because of all your past events.
What you do next in "Now"..determines all your future events.
But to me these events can sometimes seem to be happening all at once
as if my vision expands out something like "cinemascope"
Then I walk in the "Now" on an invisible tight rope watching carefully
the past present and future knowing how I step is very important.
As if you carry two buckets of water on a yoke..
One is filled with the past the other is filled with the future.
and you keep them in balance.
Some say to me "how different they are now than they were as a child"
I think to myself and say "Am an not still me behind these eyes I wear"
A seed is planted and grows and changes into what it will become
but it is still a rose, a tree..a person
You will become... like it or not...... "YOURSELF"
More Ode to Time
Just what is Time?
We spend it
We buy it
We waste it
we find it
we lose it
we calculate it
we measure it
we watch it
We try to save it
We try to buy it
we try to kill it
we try to borrow it
we try to stretch it
some of us "do" Time
Pay our Debts with It
we want Time to stand still
we want It to speed up
How does It really exsist?
just where is It?
Universal physics, Celestial mechanics
seem to operate in a presice way
Is that proof of Time existing?
We say it takes Time
We need Time
What Time is it
What Time will "that" happen
In Time "that" will occur
How much Time will "that" take.
I dont have Time,
We are out of Time........
And.......
Or Cant find the Time
We have lost Time
Or Time will tell
Some say they'd been robbed of Time
Is time really necessary?
Is life really based on "clocked" events.
We cant stop Time passing.
We cant speed Time up
Some think we can bend or suspend time
Some think we can go to events occuring
long ago if we find the right viewing "ground",
travel to great distances at great speeds
to "take a look" at the past.
Well........ to me that just says all is Now
Time seems to make a circle..
We look to the stars and we "see"
...events that have past.
None of what we see is happening now
...but happened long long ago.
If we could see the "beginning" of time
...we would know that time cannot begin or end..
For no matter how far back we trace our "beginnings"..
we are presented with a new question
We as humans divide events into time sequences.
Something must begin and end, Yet it doesnt not.
We trace our beginnings to the Big Bang,
that event gave birth to our universe.
Yet do we think beyond that..
from what did that occur..??
Was it some escaping matter from
another "universe" which began in the same way..
as our own?
