TIME IS NO MORE
The sun dwells in darkness.
The moon lives in light.
The owl hunts at daytime.
The falcon prowls at night.
The dead dine with the living.
The living dream, awake.
The eternal is not the future.
The river of time is a lake.

Presently, we live in the river of time. Time is part of creation, and God, who transcends creation, is outside time. God is timeless. He subsists in an eternal now. When we pass from this mortal life, we enter into eternity, a lake which participates in the eternal now of God.
