From North to South

Amy's ramblings. Once upon a time these ramblings pertained to my 5 months in Guatemala and Honduras. Then they followed the ebb and flow of my final semester in Alaska. From there things really went south ... to Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. After 8 months in the Andes, I fell back under Alaska's spell … working at a newspaper and wandering mountains. Now I'm somewhat south again ... in Jackson Hole, WY, teaching ski school on the clock and making fresh tracks off the clock.

It's TIME for The Prophet

And an astonomer said, Master, what of Time?
And he answered:
You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable.
You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons.
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch it flowing.

Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness,
And knows that yesterday is but to-day's dream.
And that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
Who among you does not feel that his power to love is
boundless?
And yet does not feel that very love, though boundless,encompassed within the centre of his being, and moving not from love thought to love thought, nor from love deeds to to other love deeds?

But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons,
And let to-day embrace the past with rememberance and the future with longing.
And is not time even as love is, undivided and paceless?


-From The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
