"Time ripens all things.
With time, all things are revealed.
Time is the father of truth."
~ Francois Rabelais
If you've been following, you've noticed I have an interest in people's perception of time. This 'thing' that you can't hear or feel or see amazes me because it is so powerful in its effects.
How we perceive an event may be grounded in the reality of motion but measured on this human scale called time. How different we all perceive the effects of - the illusion of - our concept of time!
Time is band-aid that heals bleeding wounds. If everything else stayed constant except the passing of time, it (in and of itself) is powerful enough to heal.
Time causes suffering when too many band-aids are put on top of each other over time.
Time is your best friend when it's all you have to get a grip on.
Your enemy when it tricks you.
Time can be lost and found...
...bought, spent,
wanted, wasted,
long or short
And although, in theory, the hands of our clock can tick in both directions, time as we all know it only moves forward.
Seems vicious when it can take us backward so often as it does.

And yet collectively there is no one unified perception of time - or anything for that matter.
So I invite you to ask yourself this question,
What's the most significant measure of time in your life?
