“Time is not a line, but a series of now points.”

-- Taisen Deshimaru

There is always time for today! Not yesterday, last year, next week, or even tomorrow. Today is here and now. This second, minute, hour is time. All the time we have and are given. Not even the hour belongs to us, until we have lived it.

Time is not ours alone. It is shared by everyone and every living thing. Many dead and dying share time with us also. Trees, waiting, once they have fallen. Bark, slowly falling away, in chunks and pieces before my eyes. I watch helplessly.

Everything has been or is surrounded by time. Mother Earth speaks silently about time. Have we listened? No, many of us have not. It passes in the night along with a trillion stars.

Space is time. Endless time, reaching out beyond where the eye can see. Snow covered mountains, green valleys, stone walls, old shoes, a pair of glasses, all speak of a time that is or once was.

There is always time for life and living. It is given to each of us each and every day. A gift to be shared. How have you shared yours today?

“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand -- and melting like a snowflake.”
