WOW. This is incredible Demetrios. Really packs a punch with so few words. I am reminded of both Rumi and Piet Hein. Have you ever heard this poem by Hein? as eternity / is reckoned / there's a lifetime / in second ... your words remind me of this! A fave...

No, I do not know who Rumi and Piet Hein are! My friend, Timothy I am old enough to write things as I see them! Haha! Thank you for your precious comment!

Dear Emil, I know you are an upright and well-educated person who speaks when he has something to say. Your words humble me and honor me at the same time. Whatever I write though is just the result of inspiration and I have little to do with it! Thank you!
