Who Knows Where The Time Goes
Thursday, July 9th, 2009How do you get time to slow down? I’m having a lot of fun these days. Our new site just went up this morning, we’re in the process of signing 10 new artists and 15 new CDs, the company is growing daily, I’m productive and happily married and it’s sum-sum-summertime!
I look at my life and think, “Hey, this is great. Let the good times roll.” And then sometimes I have these dreams where I’m back in college and I’m in my early twenties and, though I’m always a little lost, I’m young again. I wake up startled to find that a whole lotta years have passed and the years seem to be moving even faster to some nebulous end.
I remember my dad saying that his weeks had become like days, his months like weeks and his years like months. That was always a bit bizarre to me then, but I’m beginning to understand it now. Time is, after all, just a perception. Even Einstein said and proved that time isn’t real.
So if it’s not real then how do we make it up to our advantage? “How do we slow it down and enjoy the now-ness of life more?” is probably the real question.
And there in the question probably lies the answer. As always, Be Here Now. The wise ones say that there is no time – only now. I believe that, even understand it at times. I try to live the concept, but don’t very often succeed. Life just gets going too fast and I get caught up in the whirlwind of it all and then the time really rushes on.
