ON TIME AND an astronomer said
Master, tell us the time.
And he answered:
Would you like to measure time, the immeasurable and immense.
Would you like to adjust your conduct and direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons. Del
time would make a stop at the river bank and watch its flowing.
But the eternal in you know that life is timeless
And he knows that today is the memory of yesterday, and tomorrow's dream today.
And what is in your hand and stay quiet contemplation
Within the bounds of that first moment when the stars were scattered in space.
Who would not feel that his power of love is limitless?
And who does not feel that real love, though boundless, encompassed within the center of his being,
It does not pass from thought to thought of love of love, nor act of love to an act of love?
And is not the time, just as love is, undivided and motionless?
But if with the thought you want to measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other, and that this
embrace the past with remembrance and the future with the hold.
Kahlil Gibran
