• Across Space and Time (Across the Room)

• As Time Matures and within the Finite – Slips Away

The vast majority of my rhetoric is of an essay / article form written in this Blog: http://www.otterthink.com, in which some articles contain poetic phrases…

One of the following two “Poetic Prose” pieces of thought, are from my youthful past, around 20 or 22 years of age, for which I engaged in two semesters of “Creative Writing” from my beloved late Professor “Dr. Coble”, at the encouragement of my greatest of friends Jim Dilday and the second one is is from June of 2021, where at 70 years of age, I reflect on my review of life and mortality along with reviewing some brilliant minds and their thoughts I have come to admire – in this journey we all know as life…

Hope you find them of Interest: Cheers and Goodwill to All, Russ

Across Space and Time
(Across the Room)

To really love is to meet without desire, without pretense, within common goals directed outside the passions of personal attraction.

So that personal desires are not the singular/often carnal and natural initial impetus – but rather secondary blossoms of the vine. Wherein the initial nature, character, principle and common atmosphere to which you met is not overridden or altered in a vain pining effort to please.

Albeit to please is the truest of Joy…

But none the less – you are a little dawn, a fantasy to reap, a novelty of mind, an experience to feel and oversee:

As I see myself.

As Time Matures and Slips Away

A Poem – A Thought Piece – a Moments Muse

Some finite minded – define Infinity (Space and Time) – coupled with

Corners, Angles, Circles, Lines as all the same Creation of Space and Time….

From One – Many or From Many – One (Binary Combinations forever being true…)

But some muddily mused minds, cast by their self-indulged Superior dominance – conceive the contrary

Therefore, I Quote:

Joseph Campbell: A consummate Professor, Voluminous Author of Mythology, of Religion, and History’s Cultures; So, varied and yet sometimes similar throughout the eons…

I recall him in speaking with Bill Moyers, or read his depths of knowledge somewhere…

When asked what happens in the end of life, he answered:

“What matters in the End is Nothing.”

(Dust to Dust], Corners, Angles, Circles, Lines, coupled with the lone infinity of Space and Time.

BUT IF – in the end “nothing matters”

The question remains: “For Me: Remains” – Does Anything Matter?

Awe: “But the “Moment” – I would argue the “Moment” is Everything, as Moments are who we are:  The moment of helping someone, or hurting them, the moment of becoming a kinder – more understanding individual or its contrary.

Moments: Forever Wave Through Time and breathe anew in a form of the unknown or of a “Choice we choose” – but infinitely true

These are the Legacies that supersede our (Dust to Dust), and so Moments are the Choices we make and the eternal legacy of who you are.

In this Very Moment – this is true – but as age tolls for us all – we all fade back to
star dust – Infinitely,

Still your legacy remains:  Likewise, Infinitely True.

How Fundamentally your legacy is Good, Important or Evil – Remains Manifest from You…
