TIME MARKERS

On this day, I wish upon my Muslim friends many blessings as they remember their Prophet's birth.

And to my Christian brothers and sisters, the following day, may there be unity and love among us, brought about by Jesus' blood and new body.

For we are so little reconciled to time that we are even astonished at it. "How he's grown!" we exclaim, "How time flies!" as though the universal form of our experience were again and again a novelty. It is as strange as if a fish were repeatedly surprised at the wetness of water. And that would be strange indeed; unless of course the fish were destined to become, one day, a land animal." (Lewis, C.S., Reflections on the Psalms. London: Fontana Books, 1967: 115.)
