Spirit, Body, Time, Space

Linear time stretches

Farther than the eye can see

Farther than the spirit can sense

The spirit is outside of time

And feels confined by the line

Of hours and seconds,

Of deadlines –

The resistance

Creates friction within the body

And is eased by body and mind

Acknowledging

The delicate crossing –

Visible, invisible

Tangible, intangible

The click of the clock, the sweep of space

Taking time out of the breakneck race

To expand the mind

To travel in dreams

To float above tedious realities

And to explore the great mysteries
