Contemplation on the Odu Ogunda Meji

Time is just an illusion

created by the mind

to track the decay

of the house that

holds its secrets

and the activities

of the world

around it

In reality 

there is only

now

all else

can only be

experienced

in relation to

this

moment

That’s why

all things 

past

present

future

exist

simultaneously

If a ray of light

travels 1 million light years

to allow us to view

it’s present state

By the time it reaches us

it is no longer the present

but the distant past

while its origin

is already experiencing

the future

all while we 

observe it in the

present

This 

remains true

even when 1 million light years

is 1 millionth of one second

time

at all scales is

relative
