"Relationships with those we love
in this life
do not end.
Those we love
in time and space
continue to love us
after they make the transition
to that better life
we call 'eternal.'
Of course,
time and eternity are related.
As eighteenth-century English poet
William Blake wrote:
'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.'
The veil between time and eternity
is thin indeed."
