TIME MOUNTS
In reviewing Life, in contemplation or at the transition of the mortal experience, these Mounts provide places where if one was composing an essay, would stand as a section, chapter, or defining moment: the Denouement, the turn (if not the tying-up or conclusion). These Mounts are the highlights, good and bad.
Sometimes, one cannot correctly perceive a Time Mount for what it is until long-distance perspective is gained. A chapter you have labeled as tragedy may later be defined as a monument to challenge, courage, or perseverance. It is a powerful rising. It is change. It is sudden clarity: lightning on the Mount.
Be aware of your Time Mounts. Do you lull between them, or do you do your best to maintain an aware and active status? Your Mounts are but part of the story. Like every moment you have lived between your photographs, there you are: alive, breathing, thinking, feeling, doing.
Live in Inclusion. Gaze upon the landscape of your Life in Whole. The Time Mounts need no further mark upon them; perhaps they have already been clarified and reconfigured. Let them stand in the sun, but do not forget the shadowed valleys which lie between the Mounts . . . and can be the sweetest, softest part of your memories.
You know the heartbeat
on a graph—the spikes that rise and fall. The contraction. The expansion. A
pulse occurs only by rising and falling. Time Mounts occur only by the
locomotion made in the movement of your Life.
Blessed Be This Day
