Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greater obstacle to God than time: and not only time but temporalities, not only temporal things but temporal affections, not only temporal affections but the very taint and smell of time.

Meister EckhartTo be full of things is to be empty of God; to be empty of things is to be full of God.
