To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour
from "Auguries of Innocence" by William Blake
Among the paradoxes posed by Blake, I find the notion of "eternity in an hour" particularly compelling. Events of the past year have changed our relationship to time. I wonder how to retain the gifts as we move into spring, fresh starts, and new life.
How to remain in the still point as the wheel begins to spin.
In this episode I tell a Japanese fairy tale about the fisherman Urashima Taro, which leads me to thoughts about the power of stories to collapse time, and one of Joseph Campbell's observations about art, wonder, and aliveness.
