On Time

Thoughts on time and thoughts on being on time, which I have never been and will always want to be

As A Patient...

I have been through many spells...many hiccups...confused...but this was for many reasons. I am here to say that the battle is won. I have seen the busy streets in this life and the past. The past has moulded me...not into the bread though delicious...but into a person that self examines the core of my being. I am not lost or confused. Just tired of the runaround to a diagnosis that cannot defeat me. So many times have I pointed the finger at people I love. I feel that mistakes will happen...but I pray and meditate that my actions resolve unsettled thoughts and opinions. As a patient I welcome positive criticism. If support is what you bring...

A chance conversation over on Bluesky sent me thinking, then to writing a new post for my blog. I've titled it "Dreading Time in Fiction."

The gist of it concerns (in an admittedly overlong sentence!) "Time in terms of the writing of stories but time, too, in terms of the capability and interest of the people at the receiving end of a story-making artist’s creations."

Thank you for your time there.

cogito ergo

I’ve had much time to think Too much time, I think, as To think the thoughts one shouldn’t At a time one shouldn’t think Such thoughts at all, is to Think the infinite thoughts That Time itself would not Dare think since Time’s concerns Aren’t so mundane as mine. But Time thinks differently About time, and thoughts, and me I think it thought I thought It thinks too much, too, while I thought it…

10 minutes feels much longer when you’re walking on a sweltering summer’s day than when you’re walking on a crisp and cool autumn day with the sun gently warming your shoulders. So too is the length of every minute affected by the conditions of your mind.

Future hard to swallow

Suddenly time feels so long. Like these new walls hold all the years to come. Bringing to the fore all that is in store. All the friends, all the choices, and all the changes.

A mouthful too large to chew. But, I know that in a moment, as these first changes are made, I'll taste the joy of each tiny bite, and start to swallow all that lies before me.

Size of a moment

When each day feels like three, and each week passes like a month, it is hard to remember that they just don’t see. For them a moment is still just a moment. It isn’t filled to the brim bursting with feeling: pain, love, wonder, bewilderment, terror at it all. Moments grown gargantuan in their bloated state. Moments filled not even with their own being but with the being of other moments. Moments that could be or weren’t moments that don’t exist outside of your own mind. Moments others can’t see, because they are here with the one: the one moment you long to find buried under the crowd of the rest. Where you don’t cry for no reason. Where a sudden noise doesn’t fill you with dread. Where you don’t feel elated despite nothing changing. The “Moment” that can fill your being, without consuming it. The “Moment” un-bloated and gone in a flash. The “Moment” that holds everything. Right here, right now, not everywhere, every when.
