Making Up Time

How often do you check the time on your phone? Does looking at your watch stress you out?

My watch gave me headaches. It reminded me of the fact that I would be late (again) or not be able to finish that project in time or miss the train by one minute.

Earlier this month most of us manipulated time by 'springing ahead.' Isn't it crazy that we can just move time around to suit us, yet time waits for no one?

So I lost sleep over that time change, and will gain it back in November. Why do I have to wait until November to get that hour back? Why do we continue to move our clocks that way? It's outdated and all it does is upset  my sleep pattern.

We make it all up anyway.

We can never find more time, and we must use time to keep things orderly.

What if there really was no time?

Time is marked by seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries... and it's all made up.

After many years of watch-induced headaches, I finally stopped wearing a watch.

Strangely, though, once I stopped attaching myself to time, I was always on time.
Not early, not late: on time.
Very eerie.

I also learned that when I pull my past into the present moment, I lose time.

By viewing present situations through what happened in the past - by living in my head, in those old stories -  I miss out on where I am right now. And since right now is the only time that exists anyway, why waste time by living in the past?

It's like when I used to check my watch 25 times an hour (not believing that I would once again be late). For what? I couldn't turn back the clock and change the time.

Right now is what is meaningful. This moment in time. Spend it wisely.

You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable.
You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons.
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.

Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness,
And knows that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
And that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
Who among you does not feel that his power to love is boundless?
And yet who does not feel that very love, though boundless, encompassed within the centre of his being, and moving not from love thought to love thought, nor from love deeds to other love deeds?
And is not time even as love is, undivided and spaceless?

But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons,
And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.

We only learn to appreciate things when it's gone; nothing's going to be more factual with that. While the thing is there, we should learn how to value it, just like time. Time is one of the most underestimated stuff in the world and I feel sad that a lot of people don't see its importance. Time is an element that we can never take back, so we must learn how to value it the way it should be valued. Don't wait for such thing to be gone, because that's not how it works!
