Time

The purpose of time is to enable you to learn how to use time constructively. It is thus a teaching device and a means to an end. Time will cease when it is no longer useful in facilitating learning. - A Course In Miracles

Time always seems like an odd concept to me. I'm fascinated by the passage of time and how it sometimes goes slow and sometimes goes fast. I love when I'm with someone and time's passing fast for one of us and slow for the other - yet we are having the same experience.

I have no internal clock. I can't tell how much time has passed at any given moment. I can never guess how long the pasta has been boiling or how much longer until the TV show is over. I have no sense for it.

Daylight savings time is particularly fascinating to me. A group of people can vote and make a choice to move time one hour or more in any direction. And another group of people can vote and choose to not move time.

Clearly time is a creation of our own minds and only has as much power as we give it. We control time; yet we live as if time controls us.

All that being said, I wear a watch 24/7 (That's 24 hours a day / 7 days a week for those who don't know.) and I hate to be late. And I hate for others to be late. And I like the secure feeling of being on time.
