Profound. Excellent. Liz

THanks for sharing such deep thoughts Reg. That old song still rings clearly through my thoughts...we really are all "dust in the wind". Just reminds us that life is short, so live it now.

Hi Regis.
Love the piece, love the song/poem, now and before.

It's a phenomenon of language, I suppose, but isn't it interesting that even when we attempt to put boundaries on time, we have to speak in terms that are inate to time. For example, let me quote from your piece:

"The great flow existed before time was invented and will continue on, after time ceases to exist."

"Before" and "after" can't be thought in any other respect than with regard to time, which is, after all, a chronilogically ordered sequence of moments, if we want to think in terms of increments. I think that a better way of conceiving it is as a chronological spectrum without beginning or end.

Essentially we have no linquistic tools to express boundaries to Time. Just an observation from a friend.
Best regards,
Leland

Wow! No what I was thinking. Isn't it great our hope for Eternal life rests with Jesus?

God Bless

Oooohhh, some deep thoughts, Reg.

Time Think - as I exist in my later years, time passes much too fast from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., Yet, in that same space of time, a child sits anxiously at school to arrive home only to wait, wait for dinner, and time creeps by so slowly for him/her. Same amount of hours/minutes/seconds in both cases, but oh, so different for each!

Interesting concept...

great song great thought about time being a prison which it certainly can where i live time is less of an obsession there 4 pluses and minuses cheers

Time is relative to how we appreciate each and every minute and how much we derive from our experience. Good poem.

Very well written Regis!!

Thanks for sharing!!

love TinkaSweets

What a thought proving write! It captures the essence of life, death and all thats in between.. We are ony dust in the wind. WOW!!......M

Everything might be dust in the wind, but I know Who holds tomorrow and I know without a doubt whatsoever, God holds my hand. Time slips often quickly, loosely, conveniently, tramadically (sp), but we are promised but the "present from God" - Today!

It is said at this time 'Time is Money' For now we charge by the hour and apples and oranges are sold by the pound not by numbers.

Totally, the time illusion is a cause of much suffering on the planet. Knowledge of time as a measurement does not even yeild more time. There are are many thoughts of all time existing at once. Time travel novels from H G Wells to Doug Adams tease at what physicists ponder. I like Tom Stoppards thought of, "how for all the directions on the compass, we each have one. And time is it's only measure." {Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead}
Great writing Regis. I see how Kansas alludes to us as dust. I'd rather think of us as light. "One light...Light that is one though the lamps be many" Incredible String Band..age myself there a bit. : )

Good piece,Regis, Sometimes I feel that Time lives in us rather than we live in it. Ever notice that when we are busy time "flies"and on the other hand, when we have to do a boring chore time "drags?" To me it's an internal thing. So I agree with you, Regis, Time IS an illusion and has no external reality..Who Knows, maybe we are younger than we think we are !

Time and times again
This is a wonderfully mind enthralling piece Regis
I will be thinking on this for some time

Time fly's on wings of lightning, we cannot call it back.
It comes then passes forward along it's onward track.
And if we are not mindful, the chance will fade away,
For life is quick in passing, 'tis as a single day.

VEry well said and the song brings back memories of another time when we thought we could change the world and we did but was it really for the better?

Yep Everything Is Dust In Wind...

TRASK

An extremely timely message, Reg. If you will forgive the pun. If we are counting time, do we count in seconds, minutes, hours, days or centuries. If we are counting time have you ever considered how long our life lasts here on Earth in the eyes of God.

You said this well.
God Bless,
Lew

Wow, this is so deep on the deepest level Reg..Seems as if many of us are asking these things on earth and her awakening and we are looking deep within beyond the surface..Your so much like me in your a great thinker, always searching within the windows of the soul...I understand fully why I had to be a loner all those years...Fantastic message, Reg..

Peace & Love,
Dove

Vapour, mist, wilting flower, fades away are other descriptions of life and its longevity. Timely reminder, Regis. We can place too much value on the things that decay rather than what is essential to our eternity.
