There’s an infinitely small sliver that’s smack in between past and future.
And it’s on the edge of that razor that one of life’s great paradoxes is found… eternity.
Because eternity isn’t really about time times infinity… it’s about bringing infinity into the span of a single moment of time—the vastness of it all, balanced on the smallest of lines.
See you never really touch the past—yet it expands infinitely behind us…
And you never really touch the future—yet it expands infinitely in front of us… both as vast as the universe itself.
…But here? Right on this tiniest of slivers that we stand on in-between these two infinitely expanding timelines?
This is where eternity lies. In the constantly renewing string of nows… again and again and again… the only place where infinitely expanding timelines don’t survive.
The trick is to keep balanced on the sliver. Because slipping into the depths of the past and falling forward into a bed of daydreams of the future is impossible to avoid altogether.
But those who can learn to balance on the sliver more often… get more.
More fully received experiences. More fully present moments. More tastes of eternity…
