A Quote by Thomas Carlyle
One life; a little gleam of Time between two Eternities; no second chance to us for evermore!

You and I are standing this very second at the meeting place of two eternities: the vast past that has endured forever, and the future that is plunging on to the last syllable of recorded time. We can't possible live in either of those eternities - no, not even for a split second. But, by trying to do so, we can wreck both our bodies and our minds. So let's be content to live the only time we can possible live: from now until bedtime.
Life is a fragment, a moment between two eternities.
Time,- that black and narrow isthmus between two eternities.
Life is a breathing-space between two eternities, a holiday with appalling realities behind and before.

Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud
How we conduct ourselves in this life will determine what we will be in all the eternities to come.

Our God of Grace often gives us a second chance, but there is no second chance to harvest a ripe crop.
Vain, weak-built isthmus, which dost proudly rise Up between two eternities!
Life is a vacation from two eternities.
Dogs don't know about beginnings, and they don't speculate on matters that occurred before their time. Dogs also don't know - or at least don't accept - the concept of death. With no concept of beginnings or endings dogs probably don't know that for people having a dog as a life companion provides a streak of light between two eternities of darkness.
Nothing could be left to chance, because chance, after all, can be dangerous. But what I didn't realize all that time, what I missed all along, is that chance is everywhere. It's also what life is made of. It's all around us, but most of the time we never see it working.
There's two dates in time
That they'll carve on your stone
And everyone knows what they mean
What's more important
Is the time that is known
In that little dash there in between
That little dash there in between
The past situation has just occurred and the future situation has not yet manifested itself so there is a gap between the two. This is basically the bardo (life between life) experience.
