FLVMP43GPIF I COULD SAVE TIME IN A BOTTLE. I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW BIG IT WOULD HAVE TO BE. THERE ARE SO MANY MOMENTS, THAT MAKE UP TIME. SO MUCH, SO MANY, THAT WE HARDLY UNDERSTAND THE VERY CONCEPT OF TIME. IT MESMERIZES ME, HAUNTS ME, DELIGHTS ME, FREES ME, AND CAPTIVATES ME ALL AT ONCE!
THIS WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE! JUST A SECOND! CAN YOU WAIT ONE MINUTE, HANG ON FOR JUST A SECOND? GOT A MO? THINK IF YOU WILL, OF ALL THE REFERENCES WE MAKE ABOUT TIME, EVERYDAY. NOT TO MENTION THE SONGS, TITLES, MOVIES, ANALOGIES ABOUT TIME ITSELF. REFERENCES WE SUBCONSCIOUSLY MAKE, CONCERNING THAT ELUSIVE, YET EVER PRESENT, "MEASUREMENT" WE, TRY TO CONFINE AND DEFINE AS TIME!
TO ME IT'S ETERNAL....... AND THAT IN ITSELF...... IS QUANTIFYING SOMETHING WE DON'T YET UNDERSTAND. IT, IN AND OF ITSELF IS A MEASUREMENT THAT WAS CREATED INITIALLY!
"IN THE BEGINNING..........
quantify:
1.
to determine, indicate, or express the quantity of.
2.
Logic . to make explicit the quantity of (a proposition).
3.
to give quantity to (something regarded as having only quality).
the day before 9.11 & time changed forever for most of us!
Always loved that song.
ReplyDelete9.11 was a wake up call for more than just Americans. It put "war" on our side of the pond for the first time in the modern age.
I think it is the beginning of a new era - one not so sweet - a reckoning that will hopefully lead to a better place for humanity and not the end.
That song was popular when I was in high school--I think the senior class the year before me had it as their class song. 911 did change things!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine meditation on Time, John! It's thoughtful...and true.
