TIME AND ETERNITY IS NOT OURS...WE HAVE NO POWER OVER THEM FOR, TIME IS SOMETHING WE CANNOT CONTROL AND ETERNITY IS SOMETHING WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. THE REALITY? KEEP OUR EYES ON GOD WHO HOLDS US AND BOTH TIME AND ETERNITY IN HIS POWERFUL HANDS. WELL DONE, MY FRIEND. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

The only thing real is now, because it's the only time we have anything approaching control over. Yesterday is gone and set in stone. Tomorrow is yet to be, an empty slate. Only as we are living at this very moment can we do anything directly to continue or change our direction.

And so it goes. It's never yesterday or tomorrow, it's always now. No man steps into the same river twice, for it's not the same river, and he's not the same man. A simple extrapolation here. Thanks for sharing. r

a fine set of lines about time, that nigma that breaks ours into segments we can manage

I am immersed every day new revelations from history. For example, there is a new TV show that I will wash right after reading this poem, called Enslaved. The recent discovery of slave ship remains undersea is giving new insight what was like for those enslaved during the period when Africans brought to the United States to do the labor for Southern landowners with no hope of freedom like the rest of those coming to the North American continent.

And I'm also immersed in new discoveries made every day about the nature of our universe and how it has been forming for billions of years.

That doesn't leave much time to spend on wild theories about human belief and superstition. I look at us as still rather primitive beings, acting on impulses and ideas that have long been proven wrong. Children when we need to grow up and face all the problems we are creating for ourselves.
