Time enough

Kerry M. Knobelsdorff

We need time
to sort it out.
Time to sift and understand
What is and what isn't
And why.

Deserts offer that.
Or
A wilderness in the city.
That quiet place
Alone with Love,
To pray, to praise
(Especially to praise!).

All need this time
To discover things eternal:
Travel to infinite reaches
And to profound places
Within.

Love gives the time needed.
Day by day
Love's allness is unfolded,
Until we see, until we know
Why time
Is never a factor,
For all that ever has been
All that ever will be
Is the tremendous opportunity of Love
Now.
And being as Love
and of Love
and with Love—
forever and forever.

Kerry M. Knobelsdorff
