Long seeking it through others,
I was far from reaching it.
Now I go by myself;
I meet it everywhere.
It is just I myself,
And I am not itself.
Understanding this way,
I can be as I am.

To see the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a flower
To hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And see eternity in an hour

That quote pretty much sums it up for me.

Well if we can't understand the great scheme of things in an hour at least we've for the added bonus of having forever to figure it out :wink:

An hour for some can feel like an eternity, and yet for others eternity can feel like an hour.

I think this is what William Blake touched upon in the opening of his poem, Auguries of ... In other words, it is a smaller reality that helps us grasp a larger reality.
