One act follows another act (in time). Yet, there is no time to add any meaning to them. The earth's landscape changes in successive moments of time. And yet, there is no time to divide any of the moments. We divide before and after, so we can experience a succession. Yet, before is never divided from after. -- D -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One act follows another act (in time). Yet, there is no time to add any meaning to them. The earth's landscape changes in successive moments of time. And yet, there is no time to divide any of the moments. We divide before and after, so we can experience a succession. Yet, before is never divided from after. -- D -- This world is a cloak weaved with strings of time. -geo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
