Beyond all language, for it (The Way), there is no past, no present, no future.

"Language is vitally concerned with time, with tense. The Way is timeless and breaks through language, but does not discard it. Silence itself is a form of speaking, just as the blank spaces between the marks of the printing are as much part of the printing as the letters themselves.

"The Way is timeless yet it cannot dispense with time. Eternity and time are in love with each other, continually embracing in a divine union, yet always separate to the purely human eye."
