“Emptiness” mean[s] the ... transparency of each moment.... Didn’t even Wittgenstein ... say: “if we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present”? In other words, not something that goes on in time forever but a moment without time at all. ~Ken Wilber, The Integral Vision, pp. 153-54, via Joseph Slicker
Eternal life just is, now. When we are given to see through to what is, sometimes we get it and all is transformed. ~jpc
That they might have eternal life. Namaste.

In Matthew Fox's Coming of the Cosmic Christ, he says that "humans exist for awe's sake--to be radically amazed... That is our task. Awe is the opposite of "taking for granted." p. 51
May we continue to be awed by the creation we've been given.
