    About this ebook

    Viglet III, Time, Infinity & Eternity - explores these concepts from many perspectives. It dares address the question - is there such a thing as "time" or is "time" simply a jumble of numbers needed to pass Physics 101? If "time" is not puzzling enough then consider infinity and eternity.

    How pervasive is "time" - if it exists? Do other living things like ameba, puddy cats and petunias have a concept of time? Would humans have a sense of time if we didn't whip around the sun at fairly regular intervals? Since these are tough topics the only way to share our thoughts is through Viglets.

The style is similar to Viglet One but the focus is on issues of: "how dumb is that?" Readers will easily relate and find themselves creating insightfull Viglets worthy of sharing generously with friends and foes.Topics include driving, political behaviors, professions run amok, knowledge management, leadership and the hereafter.The author grew up on a farm in Askov, MN during the depression,,served in the US Air Force, was a professor at Cal State Northridge and now seeks to enlighten the world with Viglets. He previously authored math and computer text books. Recent books include"Boundary Layer People", "Noah - First time Boater" and "Viglets One - Pithy Wisdom".

      Dedication

      To precious family members, dear friends, nice neighbors, former students, colleagues and a random assortment of other living things, maybe even rocks, this third Viglet book is hereby dedicate.

      Many life forms, consciously or unconsciously, have contributed to these Viglet reflections on the concepts; time, infinity and eternity.

      Special thanks to Dixie Lee, lover, mate, mentor, protector-ess. In addition to family obligations, garden club activities she generously provides inspiration as well as physical and mental guidance. It is her incredible sense of gallows humor (at my expense of course) that makes it all possible.

      Being stuck between

      A rock and a hard place is easy

      Being stuck between time, infinity and one’s mate

      Is not always so easy.

      Introduction

      We all need backup plans

      Like - if you don’t die

      Then what?

      Or - if you do

      Then what?

      The underlying theme of the Viglet Movement is best expressed by this pithy Viglet.

      Being serious takes you straight to hell

      Being funny takes you straight on into heaven.

      Being in between is pure misery.

      Truly -- it is so.

      Viglet III - Time, Infinity and Eternity addresses many things, but the most important messages are:

      You can stop getting old-er - now

      By creating personal Viglets – now

      Nothing to buy - simply spill your guts

      In a few personal words – let it all hang out

      Then your Time will become Infinite.

      black.jpg

      Making choices as time moves on

      Is everyone’s daily challenge

      Are they right or wrong – serious or funny?

      Someone else will decide

      For sure – we all did our best

      Bad as they too often were.

      The reason I am getting smarter

      Is I can’t get any dumber

      The reason I am getting older

      Is I can’t get any younger

      What a joy – getting smarter and older

      Simultaneously

      It can’t get any better.

      black.jpg

      When folks lament

      They are losing it

      Just remember

      They probably never had it.

      Setting the stage for creating Viglets about Time is easy. As one’s RIP era looms like a rapidly rising fuzzy Phoenix out of the ashes of our hilarious past escapades and current dalliances – everyone - begins to ponder three uncomfortable squirrelly topics;

      Time - Infinity - Eternity

      At first these niggling thoughts are easily doused with a coke, cool beer or scotch on the rocks. But then visions of those who have gone ahead of us so to speak"
