Wow! Time to the tzedeek does not pass, but is infinite! That I would say is ABBA’s chesed towards us of His Kingdom!
Knowing that time, is infinite, a delay of our awareness to fulfill obligations of our responsibilities to YHWH, to bring them to completion. How amazing is that?
May we then in the obligation of our responsibility, flow freely in the Spirit, to be quick to bless, to direct someone when they are on the wrong path, to ensure amends, while the matter is fresh, disallowing denial, and distortion, than to keep silent when an opportunity arises; to procrastinate make matters worse, more so when hurt had been inflicted. The longer the delay, the deeper the hurt/s, the harder to forget, the longer the delay in apologies exposes that insincerity of walking in truth/awe of YHWH.
It is a daily challenge in acknowledging our integrity, truthfulness and righteousness in relationships with one another though time stands “still”.
What ever we do matters for all eternity, for we will still be accountable no matter when/what time our words were said, or when we did something horrid/ wonderful to somebody! We will face/reap the consequences.
So thankful that Time is infinite, giving us space to turn from evil.
Hope I got that right. :- )
I liked your synopsis and wonder if I may have your permission to copy it and place on Facebook in the near future?
I write a weekly Shalom Shabbat to my FB friends on Friday most weeks, get a small response that is consistent, but think your words here would be considered.
My email is david.sonofhashem@gmail.com
and prefer that you reply via that means, please and thank you.

Shalom David, Sure you may :- ) , hope that broadens someone’s perspective of time. It has so amazed me.
All thanks to Skip. Blessings to you and yours.

Could we have more of this topic? I feel like I got a kernel and I want more meat!
The study of Luzzatto’s book, Mesillat Yesharim, is available on the web site. It is a page by page analysis of the entire book, about 45 hours of lectures and discussion.
Shalom Skip, Any other way to order the audios, please, without using Paypal? Thank you!

Well, that was an interesting take on time. Infinitely obligated to relationship with others. That pretty much moves the whole fence all around!
And I enjoyed the listening format. A TW conversation. A snippet of a tidbit of insight. An “STI”

Hello Skip and others,
It was nice to get a glimpse into the sound of the voice Skip Moen. I think reading your reflections will take on added meaning as my mental capacity recalls the sound of your voice and presentation style. As to time being infinite and gauged by something accomplished, does II Corinthians 6:2 have this in mind as Paul says, “For he said, I have answered you in an acceptable time and in a day of salvation I have heard you. Behold now is the acceptable time, and behold now is the day of salvation.” (Aramaic Bible in Plain English)
I too, like Ester’s reflection on this subject. Releasing the idea of seconds, minutes, hours, etc, takes some doing but seems to put the focus on action or inaction versus when. Thanks!

The lovers have it right. “I will love you forever” is a true statement, that people can choose to STAY in, or not. Love is an infinite stream that we can choose to step in to or out of. Infinity is always there, in the form of our commitment to love, for love never ceases to need to be loved. I can choose to have time define me, or I can choose to be defined by infinity, depending on how I rise to the challenge of love. Here is the locus point of what Einstein instinctively thought SHOULD exist: i.e. a point of absolute rest. A point from which we can OBSERVE the passage of time from, but from a position outside of that passage. Love knows no time.
Lovers say it is better to have “loved and lost, than never to have loved at all” for they know that, no matter how short that time frame is in the temporal measure, the moment of that love will last forever in their hearts. Time encapsulating eternity, like a mortal body enclosing the Divine. Here is where we truly participate in the Incarnation.
Que lástima lo de hoy ya que yo no entiendo el ingles.
