A drop in eternity...

This is an expression I have used tonight for the second time ever. Although I'm the only one I know who uses this expression its one that I've only really fully begun to understand rather recently.

The way that I grasp this concept will no doubt give away some of my more peculiar ideas for when its a good time to go for a walk. But I find it easiest to understand this concept, when I stand outside alone in the dark and look up into a clear and star filled sky.

At these moments in time it is almost impossible to describe how tiny I feel. ((which for a guy of my stature means a lot!))

When I fully think about this I come to realize that in the mind of God, I have never not existed. To God I have never not sat and written this, I have never not been born, and I have never not died.

Before I was born I had already existed in the mind of God an eternity, and when I die I will enter back into eternity. How then is it possible for me not to feel tiny when standing alone in the dark staring up at a clear star filled sky, contemplating these very things?

It also brings me vast amounts of comfort. Everything I have done, am doing and will do Is already known about and my ((if I'm lucky)) 70 years of existence will be over ((in comparison with what is to come)) in the blink of an eye, this then brings a new question. If I then go through times of hardship, suffering, great pain and torment - what does that matter outside of that time to a person who is from and is going into Eternity? I think the simple answer is 'very little'.

You might think I'm wrong would love to hear from you if you do! that's what the comment box is for but until next time Ciao.
