On eternity

March 14, 2013

High up in the North in the land called Svithjod, there stands a rock.
It is a hundred miles high and a hundred miles wide.
Once every thousand years a little bird comes to this rock to sharpen its beak.
When the rock has thus been worn away, then a single day of eternity will have gone by.
Hendrik van Loon, a Dutch-American historian and journalist (1882-1944), The Story of Mankind
In the whole history of time, we are but a single speck. Enjoy your fleeting moment in the sun.
Have a curious day.
