He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting. You make darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep about. The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God. When the sun rises, they steal away and lie down in their dens. (23) Man goes out to his work and to his labor until the evening.
Time. Time set in place by You who are infinite and outside of time, as a gift to Your creations. The gift that enables man and beast to live within their finitude. We who can only live in a space defined by an x,y,z axis and linear time, are the product of a Mind for whom everywhen is now and everywhere is here.
