It's all about Time

The Verbal Commute

What happened to the time? Where did it go. It has always been the same but perception changes. I perceive time as a continual pulse of life.
I don't wear a watch on purpose. First of all, it is uncomfortable to me. Secondly, it feels like I am chained to a post. Time is a marking point and very important. When I set a time for an appointment I am there, on time and generally five minutes early.
In fact, when the sun is out I can give you the time within five minutes of the exact mark without a time device. I don't know why I can do this, but I would guess there is a logical explanation. I even kid around with people when they ask me the time and pull up my sleeve and tap my forearm and give them the time and they laugh, then they ask someone else nearby and then look back at me dully..."How did you know what time it was?" I just throw up my hand as confused at they are.
How much time do you take for yourself for the things you enjoy in life? How do you create your upbeat times? Is it time to start that project you've been putting off. Is it the right time to switch jobs? Time to get up? Big day ahead, going on a trip and hoping to make it there on time. When is the right time to ask your boss for that raise you've wanted?
No matter how much time I spend on asking questions about time, it will always be there ticking away. That is something I am really grateful for. Time and times change all the time.
Time allowed me to change the paper. I knew I would change with time. It was time. The time is now. I recognize this all the time. In time the paper will grow on most people. It is a matter of time. We will all get older with time. We will mature in our own time.
Most likely we will achieve all that we hope to in our lifetimes. If we are patient, time will heal all wounds. We can't buy time, it always is there, available at anytime. If you are running out of time, stop for a moment and take time to smell the roses, to say thank you to someone who has opened the door for you. You will find that you have the time to spend time with your children when you recognize that time is all you truly have. Good times and bad times are all part of the make up of time and what you do with them can make future upbeat times.
I know a bit more of where the time has gone...creating this paper. I took a picture of time as you can see above. Time stood still immediately after I took the photo and you know what...after I took the photo the clock continued to tic-toc. It is always about time...it is something I can't change.
I hope this issue finds you well!
