We (the indivisible divinity that works in us) have dreamed the world. 

We have dreamed it resistant, mysterious, visible, ubiquitous in space and firm in time, 

but we have allowed slight, and eternal, bits of the irrational to form part of its architecture 

so as to know that it is false.*

*  Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges (24 August 1899 to 14 June 1986)

I have a lot of work to do today; 
I need to slaughter memory, 
Turn my living soul to stone 
Then teach myself to live again *

There are moments, you reach moments, when all of a sudden time stops and becomes eternal.  *
