Time

Time is the measure of motion.  If there is no motion, there is no time.  The universe is moving.  Our planet spins around.  Time passes.  If nothing moved, there would be no experience of time.  That is why in deep meditation or contemplation, we are not aware of time passing.  The interior stillness is that profound.  I find it so here in the monastery in the coming dawn, as I sit in chapel.  The mediation becomes so interior and still, that I am not aware of time.  Suddenly the bell chimes, and I realize that a whole half hour has passed.  Where was I?  What was I doing?  In the stillness.  Come visit my monastery.  We age slowly here!
