There Is No Time Without Time

I'm glad September has to come and that I have no choice in it.
I might choose only August, if I could..
And then have only a season and not a year.
I might, but Fall will come and I'll be glad to have it bring back time..
So I can see this August end..
And know that every day has night, and every night a day.
Each life, but Life itself, must end.
I need to know my own mortality.
Without it neither time nor I have worth,
Nor the need to try~
Nor the will to try.

I could not live only in Summer's Great Deception, as I could not live in Spring alone.
I need to know of time and feel its passing motion on my face in some September wind..
And know that life has time and time is life..
And I, like days and seasons, am passing, being and yet to be.
Amen.

I understand what you're trying to do here girlie....but most of us mindless cretons can't understand anything even remotely cultured....lol

You guys are just too busy reading diet journals & pumping iron {or something else }
I'm just giving you a commercial!

Welcome greenie

To laugh often and much..
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children..
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends..
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others..
To leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition..
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is the meaning of success.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

I love the Ralph Waldo Emerson one. Which poem is that out of Sachet?

hiya gymrat
Ya know what?!
I don't know where I came across that..
I thought it may have been at the library site because I've been reading shakespeare at night to help me wind down *lol*

But, they don't appear to have Emerson.. hmm.

Circle Wisdom
~Sedonia Cahill

I invite you to enter for a moment
into Sacred Time and Space,
into a way of seeing that is broad and spacious.
See this Day, from the time you arose this morning
until you sleep this evening, as one Ceremony,
divided into small and familiar rituals,
your Heart as the Altar.
You, part of the Cycles of Light and Darkness.

Now begin to see your Life,
from the moment of your Conception
until the time of your Death
as one long, continuous Ceremony,
filled with many rituals,
some familiar, some unknown and challenging.
Your Home and all Your Relations, the Altar.
You, part of many Seasons and Cycles.

Now see this Ceremony of your Life
as part of a much larger Ceremony that extends
Seven Generations into the Past and Seven into the Future,
made up of many Births and Deaths.
This beautiful spinning Earth the Altar.
You, part of the great Ebb and Flow.

Now, if You will, imagine this larger Ceremony
to be but one part of a Ceremony so grand,
so magnificent as to be hardly comprehensible,
a great, vast Ceremonial Circle, rich and vibrant
with millions upon millions of swirling
Circles of Dancing Light,
and You, one of those Dancing Circles,
a Dancer on the Altar that is the Universe,
where Time is Eternal.
