Moments in Time (Time Travel)

La Pieta (Michelangelo)

Traveling in time is traveling through space.
Then, you were there. Now you are here. There you will be.
Trapped in love causality.

I saw this girl. Her breath was the stuff of stars. Her eyes blazed as that first eruption brought the stuff of life. She was twenty years, and no part of her was more than five years old, and all of her was over five billion years old. We travel in time.

I saw the light from another planet. Twenty years ago it reflected off the pools and stones. I saw this girl. She was beautiful, and I blinked, and she was my cousin. And I blinked and she was a grandmother. And I blinked and she was a child.

There is no part of me that is not in you. Nothing in you that will not be me.

We are alone, and we are together, in time.
