Paul Ferraresi

I find that as each new year comes, people often state, “Gee, where did the year go? It went by so quickly.” And yet, other times people bemoan that things are moving too slowly. Since we, in general, are here on this planet for 100 years and then pass away for eternity…here is a glimpse of how long eternity is….

“In the cold northern wastes there is a mountain a thousand miles long, a thousand miles high. Once each thousand years a small bird flies north. This small bird flies north to sharpen his beak on the cold hard stone of the mountain. When the mountain is thusly worn down, one second of eternity shall have passed.” –Tibetan Poem
