At the still point of the turning world.
Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards;
at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement.

Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline.
Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.- TS Elliot

Time past and time future
Allow but a little consciousness.
To be conscious is not to be in time

Be remembered; involved with past and future.
Only through time Is time conquered.- TS Elliot
