One Glimpse

Have you ever thought about time? Do you consume it or does it consume you? Can you watch as it flows around you, or does it flow through you, leaving a trail of future twists and bends and flows? Back away near sleep and watch the earth form and move as it grows with human mass, the wars rising up in concentrated tips and then flowing down into smooth-lined sloughs, all brown or granite ...or then the green of spring and the stars sing a net of sparkly songs and you are drawn to one oak tree with one solitary man running his breath out and in over a silver flute as the white rabbit tips a pink ear and both join in the jig of now....and you can hear their echo in liquid tones, golden to your heart. And it's so good you cry as the forested leaves shine their happy faces back at you because Jesus swallowed time and freed us from the otherness. So, because of him, Time is not and All is Now. Amen.
