"To see the world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a wildflower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour"
In my final year presentation to the class at uni, the lecturer said present anything. A Physics major, with my final year thesis being Quantum Electrodynamics, I wanted to be different from the rest of my fellow nerds. So i spouted poetry instead....which seemed mad to my classmates at that time.
I started with those words borrowed by William Blake. And went on to explain how poetry is science and science is music and everything in life is mathematics in nature.
Everything is finally just equilibrum. A balance. And we search constantly for that balance in everything that we do in life - consciously and subconsciously.
It strikes me that we cannot have it all. We cannot do it all. Because we cannot hold infinity in the palm of our hands, nor capture eternity in an hour. These are just our individual perspectives of time and space continuums.
So, we just live everyday the best we can.
Everyone just seeing a tiny glimpse of the world in their grain of sand and a lil sliver of heaven in their chosen wildflower.
Perhaps that is enough.
