I.
The world is thick with mystery.
We pretend we comprehend.
And we do. And we don’t.
II.
If you ask, what time is it,
everyone knows how to answer.
An analog clock, a digital watch,
a cable tv box in the bedroom,
a microwave or stove in the kitchen,
all will tell you the time.
III.
But, if you ask, what is time,
that is a different kind of question.
We all know what time is until we’re asked.
IV.
To complicate the matter more,
ask a third kind of question,
how do you experience time?
It depends on the circumstances.
V.
To arrive at a mystery,
meditate on a fact.
