Imagine
A picture on a screen
How easily they pass you by
A pastoral scene
The sun is burning your skin
The breeze is cooling your warmth
The animals that walk, the ones that fly
You see the grass, the tress and the entire field.
But you are limited
You cannot sense all the warmth
You cannot feel all the cool
You do not understand every living thing walking or flying
You see the grass and the trees
But the field is too big for you to comprehend.
It is sad
You cannot know everything
You are limited
By your desire to be unlimited.
And this is magic
Do you see what you just did there?
You thought of 'eternity'
What is eternity?
It is beyond us
It is beyond anything we know
But we can imagine it
We am limited
Yet we know things that are beyond me.
It should be impossible
But it is not
And I see eternity in you.

Read about Immanuel Kants aesthetics. Really beautiful, hope it shines through.
