To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.—Emily Dickinson

2008.07.29
“We clasp the hands of those that go before us, And the hands of those who come after us. We enter the little circle of each other's arms And the larger circle of lovers, Whose hands are joined in a dance, And the larger circle of all creatures, Passing in and out of life, Who move also in a dance, To a music so subtle and vast that no ear hears it Except in fragments”

—Wendell Berry

“Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.”
— Henry David Thoreau

I stared at the reflections in the water—mesmerized by the repetition.

I tried to count the circles of the tree's life—


Events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order the continuous thread of revelation.
—Eudora Welty

oldbabe Time...I try not to think about it. I never feel I have enough.
Life...I try not to think about it. I try to live it all in my own time my own way. I can't dance.

I had to enlarge that second one so I could just stare at it for awhile. You are right. It is mesmerizing.
