Time is not like a line,
The experts say,
But more like a block
Where everything is always
Happening at once
All the time
All at once
Simultaneously

(Read this now –
The whole thing
All at once
All at once
All one word
All one thing
No line
No linearity
No....)

But we can’t see it like that
Because we have
LIMITATIONS on our
SENSORY APPARATUS
That prevent us
From seeing anything
Other than yesterday
Today
Tomorrow
A billion years from now
But
It’s really all the same

No lines
No arrows
No now
No then
No “I’ll pick you up in front of Wal-Mart at 3:30"
It’s just an illusion
Just a deception
Facade
Tick tick tick
No tick tick tick


You wonder
But it makes no sense
A life will start
And end
And how can this
Be anything but linear?
Point A to B
To M to Z?
Am I older than I was?
I think so
Sometimes
But am I fooling myself?
Brainwashed by the brain
That sees only the “flow”
Of a process
So “obvious”
(Not so “obvious”)

I look around
And – say it’s true –
Then you’re still here
But I can’t see you
Or hear you
Or touch you
I can only remember
The words you said then
“Then” --
If there’s no “then”
Then what was all that?

And if it’s all true
Then the day that we met
Is all days
All times
All worlds
All things
All
All there is
And I would never
Have to let go
Because letting go
Would mean
Time
Had
Passed
But they say it’s not like a line....

Never let go
I can almost believe
If it means
Never letting go....

Mysterious Universe
Space-time continuum
So vast and mind boggling for us, Earthly creatures
Who are locked in space and time
Living day after day in a linear fashion
From past through present into the future
Busy paying bills, doing laundry, getting a promotion and so on
Ordinary everyday life
Caring little about mysteries of the universe
And our own existence
Time and timelessnes...
Time itself depends
On a point of reference
For us it is Earth's position related to Sun
Theoretical scientists say
Theoretically speaking,
At the speed of light the lenth of an object contracts
It become too small to measure
Weight increases and occupies every part of space-time
And be outside space-time continuum?
Be timeless...
For anything outside space-time
Is timeless
Can anyone trully comprehend timelessness?
To be outside space-time continuum
And taste the immortality
To see all pasts, all present and all futures in one glance
Billions of years as one second
And one second as an eternity...
There is only One who can do that
The Creator of time itself
The sourse of all sourses
The Cause of all causes
The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord make His face shine upon you
And be gratious unto you
The Lord turn His face toward you
And give you PEACE
"And completeness"

JAC, I mean no disrespect or anything, and I understand that you you are
new, and I welcome you to the site. But some people are really sensitive
about their work, and do not like when they are tagged. You are more
then welcome to make your own board though. Just ask next time if you
can tag. Cause a lot of people do not like it unless, they give
permission or they request it.

Happy hunting, and I wish you the best of luck.
