We end up with the frantic, fragmented, fast-paced life we experience on the commercial strip or read about in the daily news or log on to in cyberspace. It is a world without permanence, a world in which the only constant is change, a world untouched by anything we might call eternity. Yet, without regularly touching eternity, we live in a world without cohesion and depth, a world in which "time flies" in an ever-accelerating rhythm until we want to shout, in the words of the old Broadway show title, "Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!"
