TIME IS AN ocean, present and eternal. We are adrift on that ocean of possibility, you and I, and the miracle is that we find each other at all.
Maybe it’s age that keeps me scanning the horizon, looking for you, waving, bobbing in that sustaining current, because I want to hold eternal moments closer now. We move through time and space separately, and the mystery of our meeting is time’s gift to us. Swim with me now, we have no other chance.
