Time            

        

 

By John W. Vander Velden

 

A beginning…an end. Is our need to measure so demanding that nothing escapes?  Do we limit our perception?  Are we unable to believe in more, being tied to the finite?  Is it simply a weakness of our mortality?  Yet time passes.  It passes slowly it seems while we watch…quickly while we are joyous.  It passes throughout the day with our knowledge.  Passes without our consent as we sleep.  Seconds become days…days become years…time waits for no one.  Yet life is so much more than the arbitrary.  Is it not beyond boundaries, measured by more than the clock and ruler?  Who truly knows our beginning…only God.  Only God measures our worth…a value more than a sum of ticks…  Valued through eyes that see beyond any limits…especially time.
