time never began.

...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?

Constructive criticism regarding any of my work, always welcomed, appreciated and read with an open heart.

These pieces are extracted from my book of prose, “50 truths and 50 lies, the first 50 years.” Available Here

time never began.
it will never end.

it is boundless,
beyond any truth we discern.

it is vast,
beyond any vision we can imagine.

the span of time;
no truths,
no lies.

time is never.
time is always.

it is day.
it is night.
and it knows neither.

it is what we have too much of,
and never enough.

time is always.
time is never.
