#547 On Your Own Time

You think of Time
As the continuum of your own reality 
The ebb and flow of history
As it weaves around the fabric of your Life

But this Time
Your Time
- is but one Time amongst many

Just another wave
Amongst each successive wave
Beating against the beach of Existence

And you think of Time
As the ticking of your own clock
The coming and going of your days
The sunrises and sunsets of your Life

But this Time
Your Time
- is but one Time amongst many

And when your time is done
Time will still be here

Like the waves of an endless ocean
Beating against the shores of Being
At the sunset of God's great Creation.

(inspired by Kat Rahmat and Michel Serres)
