Yesterday, to buy
2 5′ pieces of conduit
The cashier asked me if I wanted
it on my Home Depot card and
If I wanted an emailed receipt.
I sat in my car and tried again to
imagine
Infinity.
Infinite numbers. Can there be a finite
set of finite numbers that add up to infinity?
No.
Infinite Time
Infinite space:
These are boulders
which cannot fit through the sieves of
our minds.
Then I thought if I could forget this thought
all would be well.
Let it go.
Let it go.
Let it go.
Remember purple flowers in spring,
the laughter, especially, of children.
The green of the spring in the cold of winter
and the rustling of leaves in the heat of summer.
The sound of water moving, and the breeze blowing.
They do not begin anywhere, or end anywhere.
All my life I have striven to be large, so large.
I must become smaller, much smaller.
To diminish is to grow, to lessen is to increase.
This universe does not exist for us,
but we can learn to live happily in it
if
I remember you,
and you remember me,
then all will be well, and the
journeys end the very beginning, and the beginning
the very end,
as we wander in the stars,
and forget we were ever unhappy,
in the bliss of life.
So remember me, and I will try
to remember you.
There is a fog in all this
we all need to dispel from
the clear sun of our hearts.
