The human heart can go to the lengths of God
Dark and cold we may be,but this
Is no winter now. The frozen misery
Of centuries breaks, cracks, begins to move.
The thunder of the floes,
The thaw, the flood, the upstart spring.
Thank God our time is now when wrong
Comes up to face us everywhere,
Never to leave us till we take
The longest stride of Soul men ever took
Affairs are now Soul-size
The enterprise is exploration into God!
Where are you making for? It takes
So many thousand years to wake
But will you wake for pity's sake?

From "A Sleep of Prisoners" Christopher Fry

The present is the child of the past
The future the begotten of the present
And yet O present moment knowest thou not thou hast no parent
Nor canst thou have a child
That thou art ever begetting but thyself
Before thou hast ever begun to say
I am the progeny of the departed moment the child of the past
Thou hast become that past itself
Before thou utterest the last syllable
Behold thou art no more the present but verrily the future
The ever living trinity in one
The Mahamaya of the absolute IS

Unknown Eastern writing

Motion measures space -Time measures motion
Space is the medium in which motion and time occur
Motion is energy-Energy forms matter
Time and space give matter form
With motion operating in time the future becomes the past
The future is that into which motion flows
The past is that from which motion came
In the present there is NO-THING -MU a Japanese word-the void
Incapable of perception in our finite state of consciousness
Where we are bound in the process of birth-growth-decay and death
Until we realise aliveness is an infinite process transcending
The physical form and fundamentally becoming a state of BEING
This state of BEING is the ETERNAL NOW-THE PRESENT
Where there is no motion or time -COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS

On parent knees a naked new born child
weeping thou satst while all around thee smiled
So live that sinking in thy last long sleep
Calm thou may smile while all around thee weep
