Time

"The beauty of a morning glory, is that of its patient wait for the sun to bloom in the morning!"

"Time unfolds beauty, wonder, and mystery to reveal the auspicious tapestry of life."

"Occasionally we glimpse the South Rim, four or five thousand feet above. From the rims the canyon seems oceanic; at the surface of the river the feeling is intimate. To someone up there with binoculars we seem utterly remote down here. It is this know dimension if distance and time and the perplexing question posed by the canyon itself- What is consequential? (in one’s life, in the life of human beings, in the life of a planet)- that reverberate constantly, and make the human inclination to judge (another person, another kind of thought) seem so eerie… Two kinds of time pass here: sitting at the edge of a sun-warmed pool watching blue dragonflies and black tadpoles. And the rapids: down the glassy-smooth tongue into a yawing trench, climb a ten-foot wall of standing water and fall into boiling, ferocious hydraulics…"

"Let your heart shine even more than your face. The beautiful contents of your heart can never be forgotten, but your face will be a history."

"The most beautiful things often stand alone."

"Beauty is the moment when time vanishes. Beauty is the space where eternity arises."

"Does God knowthe number of kissesbefore we fall in love?Yesterday, I was nobodyand I believed myself important. Today,I feel my worth in you. You, with your emerald eyes and ebony hair,even your heartbeat is beautiful. You, who is my greatest joy,all other concerns vanish in your presence. You swallow timeand consume space,inspiring all my passionwith a single embrace. I love your existence."

"You can never heal completely. The scars will always stay behind, just to remind how cruel the time was once to you. But someday, you will learn to see beauty in the world that gave you these scars. And your eyes will shine with no lies in it. That day, you become beautiful. With baring all the scars, Which you always tried to hide from everyone."

"There were only seven years between the first and last Beatles albums. That's nothing, seven years, when you think of how their hairstyles changed and their music changed. Some bands now go seven years without hardly bothering to do anything."

"There was rarely an obvious branching point in a person's life. People changed slowly, over time. You didn't take one step, then find yourself in a completely new location. You first took a little step off the path to avoid some rocks. For a while, you walked alongside the path, but then you wandered out a little way to step on softer soil. Then you stopped paying attention as you drifted farther and farther away. Finally, you found yourself in the wrong city, wondering why the signs on the roadway hadn't led you better."

"Like a flower pressed flat and dried, we try to hold it still and say, this is exactly how it was the day I first saw it. But like the flower, the past cannot be trapped that way. It loses its fragrance and and its vitality, its fragility becomes brittleness and its colors fade. And when next you look on the flower, you know that it is not at all what you sought to capture, that that moment has fled forever."

"The world had to change and for some reason the prosperity of men always results in them taking ever more from wild creatures and places."

"Two years could change so much under the facade of changing nothing at all."

"Time is the wave upon the shore. It takes some things away, but it brings other things."

"Life changes therefore think of change when change is a must. Change such things which you have to change when you have to change things for the longer you think of changing things, the more things keep changing. The best tomorrow is today! Be swift and think of change!"

"Change takes time. But, it also takes people."

"But... it's one of those laws of the universe, isn't it? Nothing stays the same. Things change."

"Homecoming is a single word, and we use it to describe a single event. But true homecoming requires more time. It seems to be a process rather than a moment. Perhaps we come home the way the earth comes home to the sun. It could be that homecoming is always a return and our understanding of home deepens with each encounter."

"There is a curious thing that happens with the passage of time: a calcification of character."

"Sometimes we need boldness, creativity and wisdom to enforce the change we want in us and others."
