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! www.moonpointer.com/zeph

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?

    Time is a warp eating its own tail.
