Time is an ocean

Edward Powers 1959 (Texasrs)



I used to think of time as starting and stopping. not realizing that all of existence has, is and will be all at once. Looking forward to surprises that have already happened.Regrets and sadness that will be erased when this body no longer exists. long ago memories that seemed like yesterday. Longing for creativity to flow into me again.People coming and leaving in this flow. Just playing out my role, as if already written for me.
Joining the Great Link soon.
