It's About Time

In the mailbox this Sunday morning . . .

The tragedy of this world is that everyone is alone. For a life in the past cannot be shared with the present. Each person who gets stuck in time gets stuck alone. – Alan Lightman

We are living interludes, bookended between not yet and no more, each of us a random draw of the cosmic lottery, each allotted a sliver of spacetime in which to live out our lives as chance configurations of stardust suspended in time. – Maria Popova

You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable. / Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. / Yet the timeless in you is aware of life’s timelessness, / And knows that yesterday is but today’s memory and tomorrow is today’s dream. / And that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space. – Kahlil Gibran

Everything belongs and everything can be received. We don’t have to deny, dismiss, defy, or ignore. What is, is the great teacher. – Richard Rohr
