Knowing for the first time means becoming aware that there really is no first or next time.. It means realizing time has asserted itself as a fencing with barbed-wire barbs claiming their sequence marking our surrender of freedom.. As time barbs dissolve in our space of being we know with joy for the first and all time...
We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. T. S. Eliot
