Time, Perhaps

Time perhaps, for wonder – to look around in awe at how all that surrounds us has somehow come about.. we who do not even know how to grow a fingernail… time perhaps, for gratitude – for what we have already, forgetting for a moment, our desires… we who have forgotten whom or how to thank.. time perhaps, for praise – if not the Lawyer, praise the laws… if not the lover, praise the love… we who might become praiseworthy through our praise… time perhaps, for imagination – to consider how things might be, for then they might become… we who have the world itself inside us, just as much as that great cosmos that’s out there… time perhaps, for simplicity – to pare life down to those things which give us greatest joy – and then, enjoy them all the more… we who love complexity when masquerading as the new… time perhaps, for time – to live a measured calm of stillness, peace and rest and find the joy there all the time … we who ceaselessly invent the labour-saving, and then find ourselves a slave to these new toys… time perhaps, to transcend time – and live a timely life of timeless joy; and know then, all that’s not been mentioned here… we who have yet to know what human beings really are…
