I took Eternity out (on a leash) for a walk today.
Upon reaching a fire hydrant she, of course,
took forever to do her business.
I said, “Why on earth do you take so long to do your business?”
Eternity just looked at me (with her little head tilted at a cute angle),
without replying, with an inordinate stare that seemed to
permanently transcend time and the separateness of space.
Then, for what I thought was a brief moment,
the boundless leash started pulling me, ever so slightly,
and we went on and on.
We, as we went on, passed by a beautiful, enduring damsel
sitting, persistently, upon a non-evanescent ever-green tree.
Please remember that whenever you and Eternity go (or may have gone)
out for a magical walk, perhaps with a leash — wherever or whatever
you move (or had moved) through, no matter how far or short it is,
no matter how many places you visited — your consciousness hasn’t
really moved anywhere (other than where it always was).
