Shame. (Yours, not mine).

Why you thought I would play your stupid games when I don’t even have enough money to buy food, I’ll never know. 

Near

How far?

the dawning

I had a dream
that all of time
was running dry

and life was
like a comet
falling from the sky

I woke so frightened
in the dawning
oh so clear

how precious
is the time
we have here

Reality

take it to

reality

tick tick

Dawn

Not knowing when the Dawn will come,
I open every Door,
Or has it Feathers, like a Bird,
Or Billows, like a Shore —

~ Emily Dickinson

it does not wait

     
it is     

     fleeting  

    temporal   

      shifting

    momentary  

   dreamlike   

    uncertain  

  mysterious   

   tentative   

  fragile      

      

     it is     

   precious    

       &       

it does not wait

it does not wait

Time

It is within ourselves that yesterday is distinguished from tomorrow. 

~ Zen saying 

What we call yesterday and tomorrow is really the one time. Time is only the one moment, 'the absolute presence, in which all that is present or absent is as such present.' The mistake the unenlightened people make is to understand things and times and the self ... as separate. 

Reality is a whole.

~Zen Master Dogen's teachings on 'being-time' in Zen Buddhism: A History, Vol 2, by Heinrich Dumoulin.
