Time and the timeless dimension co-exist here, now in this very moment that we're living, this very moment that we're speaking.

We have to be on time every day for one thing or another, so how can we be on time and yet not in time at the same time?

I live in California, where there's a lot of driving entailed. I'm usually going somewhere to be on time to meet someone so I'm necessarily engaged in time. And yet, how can I in that moment of driving my car, be aware of that which is not going anywhere?

I certainly spent many years in my early life chasing all over the globe for meaning and purpose. I'd feel like I'd found it, then it would fade away again.

When we fall utterly, something gathers us up. But our falling must be without reservation, without expectation, without hope, though not hopeless. You cant plan that kind of falling. When you abandon yourself utterly to life, the river will flow, and the log jam will free. Impossible is another word for grace. Who wouldve thought it, life takes another turn, and you are gathered up into a whole different way of seeing and being.

When you die, God and the Angels will hold you accountable for all the pleasures you were allowed in life that you denied yourself.

When we are open to ourselves and our own experience, and therefore, open to the world, then the world can respond.
