Time and Space

We don't really have time, as if it were like a car that we possess. We share time with six billion other people on this earth. What we do have is space. I take up a certain amount of space during my life on this earth. Time is eternal. it belongs to God. When I meditate in stillness and quiet, trying to accomplish nothing, not moving through my space of tasks, I live in the moment. This is where time is experienced. Usually, we think of time as having a past, present and future. But that really is space moving along. Time only has the moment and the moment is now. God creates in the moment. To experience more the mystery of God, we live in the moment at some point each day. We stop moving through space. We stop accomplishing. I think that is what the Sabbath is all about. Stop working and be present to the moment, to God in time. We find it hard to stop doing things because we are addicted to accomplishments, to gadgets. We are controlled by things. We need a Sabbath rest just to let go of our addiction for one 24 hour period. Try it. Not just going to your church or synagogue for an hour, but for the whole 24 hours, try to not work, or accomplish something, or even to get into arguments. It is hard, no?
