When time became the first clock’s tick before the hands of time were seen and life was born of only light a brilliant ball of silver sheen Before the sun and stars were born and lights were not of the dark sky when simply one force was then known and nothing seen by living eye Billions of years light hurtling past until birth of the galaxy Long before the earth was a thought or constellations flickered free A system of sun and planets born of a universe then old age A birth of life in purest heat when a T-rex was not the rage We live a moment of one speck in time less than one simple tick And all of man has been of earth so short, the thought makes one sick [This message has been edited by Magnus (05-27-2002 10:18 PM).] |

Hello Barry So wonderful and so very true are your words. Sometimes we all get caught up in the rush but we all need to cherish the time we have for we don't know which day may be our last. Take care.....Sue Suetang |

Good Evening...or should I say...Good Morning Sue... Thank You dear one...Yes...our lives are but a microsecond of time compared to the Universe or our own earth... And we should live as though each second may be our last... |

Nancy, I was just thinking of something to write for the evening...and stumbled across the thought of time....Amazing, isn't it?? Look at the growth of humanity over the course of a few thousand years...Most of what has grown...has occured during our own lifetimes... The other four billion or so years were just the first step... Hugs... |

  (sigh) Wow, oh Barry, this indeed intrigues me, sweet friend, yet while we have made so many achievements in time, it also saddens me to see much of continum being lost and thwarted and how much of what we used to rememember in love has fallen apart! (big hugggssssss) Time is a bittersweet thing, dearest friend, you write of it so well, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Thanx Sandra, and I am pleased to say this happened well before my time, so my words are not from personal experience Ha!... Noah, yes...such a fascinating time and puzzling thought of when it all began... |
