Every time I think of time, I realize it's the most significant thing to contemplate. How can you think of time and not be lost in wonder? How can you think of time, and not also of eternity? How can you consider movement, and not also stillness? Here we have the key to all the mysteries of life! An Ephemeral dance and a solemn silence. Can you see the movements of time as an ephemeral dance? Can there also be aeonian dances, and everlasting dancers?
Consider motion: a simple echo; it arises from silence, it expands and it travels as far as it has potential to reach, and then, it returns to the eternal womb of creation, silence. The echo has returned to silence, but it has left its mark in all that it has touched. Now try to imagine this echo as a light wave. Give it color and texture. Visualize it as it unfolds and expands. Did you see its birth and death? Did you see its end and beginning?
Stop at a point in this wave's unfoldment. Capture a moment. A single moment. Is it just a single moment? Or is it eternity frozen in space? Think of the wave: what was there before its birth? What will remain of it, after it is gone? Silence, absolute and complete stillness! Is that also not true of all moments?
If motion –All motion – comes from silence, and returns to silence, then isn't it true that all things are just the same at their core? Seemingly different faces of The ONE? and time is just a fleeting reflection of eternity?
Now do this: just as you imagined a single light wave, imagine a spiraling galaxy, extending its great arms, unfolding. Visualize it in all its majesty, from its birth to its death, see its end and beginning as you would the twinkling of a single star. It is just a gigantic light wave! See how it gives birth to countless little light waves inside it before it is gone. This is the universe: infinite waves within infinite waves, fleeting and ephemeral.
Stop here!
This moment; capture it!
Find your core; stay there.
