I’ve come to the conclusion that I spend a good part of my time simply putting out fires, as it were. With three children in the house, I suppose it’s no wonder. And I do tend to be a bit, well, distractible. Or I lose sight of priorities (if I even had ever established them on any particular day) and spend, for instance, an hour online searching out a specific birthday present for Serena.
And then I look up, as I did not long ago, to realize that the sun is going down and where did the day go?
I’m a bit perturbed to still be evaluating my days in terms of what I accomplished. Or did not accomplish. Haven’t we any better ways?
I’m pretty sure this isn’t what “being in the moment” is all about. Isn’t unlimited time available, stretchable, bendable?

Watched a movie last night with Matthew that I’ve been meaning to see since I heard about it, “Once”. It’s about two people who meet almost randomly, make a lot of wonderful music together, and then move on, their lives forever changed from the experience.
Kind of like life itself. Huh.
Anyway, it’s highly recommended and the music was amazing. If you haven’t seen it, do.

Time is a human concept, a corporeal measurement to justify the weight we gain, the inches we grow …the moments we experience. Yet time is meaningless to the soul. What is an hour to something that is eternal? Suffering the sunrise/sunset mentality is a temporal dilemma and one that haunts us all during our time here. Time is finite and unrelenting in it’s consistency. However, there are those moments when we defy the passage of time and make a single heartbeat last an eternity; a cosmic hiccup that pulls the curtain back and allows us to wander backstage. the movie “once” reminds me of a dave Matthews song called “say goodbye”… check out the lyrics or look it up on youtube…you won’t be disappointed
