All This Time

Time is not a

      luxury

 

 

 

TIME is

         NOT

                                                                          All this time,

                                                                   have we always had

                                                                      it, or are we just

                                                                       conscious of it?

                                                                      days and nights,

                                                                      moons and suns,

                                                                       always passing,

                                                                    have always passed.

                                                               What did those people do?

                                                            Before things were so calculated,

                                                    year, month, day, hour, minute, second.

                                                              Form of communication...

                                                                         Necessary?

                                                                Mother of invention.

                                                                     Time is living,

                                                           Nothing can exist without it

                                                        Because then nothing would pass,

                                                        your heart could not beat because

                                                        That would be a measure of time.

                                                            Transport to higher being?

                                                   Become something other than human?

                                                                 Higher Intelligence?

                                                   So how do we become outside of this?

                                                    Outside of this incessant counting...

                                                              Where one can Truly

                                                                             Be.
