In possibility the eternal, rightly understood, continually lays out
only a small piece at a time
In possibility the eternal is continually near enough to be at hand
and yet far enough away to keep man advancing towards the
eternal, on the way, in forward movement. In this way the ternal lures
and draws a person, in the possible, from craddle to grave
if he just chooses to hope
