Terms of Reality

Reality is a question of realizing how real the world is already.

Time is Eternity, ultimate and immovable; everyone's an angel.

It's Heaven's mystery of changing perfection; absolute Eternity

changes! Cars are always going down the street, lamps go off and on.

It's a great flat plain; we can see everything on top of a table.

Clams open on the table, lambs are eaten by worms on the plain. The motion

of change is beautiful, as well as form called in and out of being.
