One of my favourite authors is Paul Tillich. His book ‘The Eternal Now’ explores the concept of the Nunc Stans: the panentheistic ‘God’ is not only present throughout the Cosmos at any one moment; every moment of the Cosmo’s duration is present within God in one everlasting reality – the eternal NOW. The following short poem is a response to this concept.
The Nunc Stans.
Boundaryless unlimited existence.
Outside of time,
Your unblinking presence overflows the Cosmos.
Past, present and future all exist in your eternal now.
