Interesting poetry and commentary
TIME AND ETERNITY
Time is like the boundaries of a swimming pool
A reference point to safety,
Size and bottom help to keep us down to earth,
In touch with reality and aliveness.
Eternity is like forgetting the boundaries of the pool
And being cool with that.
We need to feel our feet touching the bottom
On swimming to the other side or to the end of the pool.
We can be comfortable just swimming
And not being mindful of the bottom or sides.
Then we don’t need the pool,
The ocean is a start and it never ends.
For eternity is where there is no boundary no shores,
From horizon to horizon,
No bottom, no sides,
That’s eternity in our hearts!
(Eccl. 3:11)
