An astronomer said, Master, what is time like? He replied: You want to measure the infinite and immeasurable time. You want to adjust your demeanor and even channel your spirits to the times and seasons. You are willing to build a stream of time and watch the flowing water pass by on the bank. Yet the infinity in you is aware of the infinity of life. It knows that yesterday is but a memory of today, and tomorrow is but a dream of today. Therefore, it that sings and thinks within you is still in that first moment that scattered the stars across the sky. Who among you does not feel that the power of love is boundless?

Who does not feel that love, though inexhaustible, is still bound to him, unable to move in loving thought and in loving action? Isn't time like love, indivisible without gaps? But if you think it necessary to measure time by seasons, let each season contain the others, Let today embrace the past with memory and the future with hope.
