The Dance of Space and Time

Hayward asked that I post this…in living appreciation of Rinpoche.

Primordial Couple
Forever entwined
The dancing embrace
Of Space and Time
∫
Through the eyes of Convention
The limits of known
Time and Space invisible background
Framing when and locating where
Space as container
Surrounding all things
Gracefully contours
To accommodate dimension
The length height and width of all things
Occupies focused attention
Confusing form and substance
Space appears solid
Vast openness is selectively ignored
As measurements’ meaning is routinely explored
Time is partitioned and sequenced quite clear
As past present and future appear
Here, there, after, before
Ordering, taming, dimming splendor
∫
Through the eyes of Knowledge
Time and space visible appear
Let the background come forth
The dynamic revealed
Behold transcendent dimensions
Intrinsically within
Allowing all objects be Space
And movement be Time
Space surrounding, permeating and infusing
All form
Time nakedly exposed
As inherent movement of all change
Time and space in information
Informing all message
Time giving form to meaning
And Space meaning to place
Space allows by surrounding
And supports by infusing
And Time as weaver runs through
All that is woven
Subject and object mutually appear
Sharing moment
The intimacy of
Time’s space
Focal settings macro to micro all confirm
Time and Space is ever-present for the knowing
Time giving form to space
Present and entirely open
Appearance without substance
Sheer afterglow of loving embrace
