Time

.
We measure many things in life through time. The time it takes to get where you want to go, the time for an appointment, the time for shopping, getting the household chores done... And of course me-time, the time we set aside to just take a deep breath and relax.

Time is for many of us an unending string of events, often planned way closer together than they should be causing us to run out of time on occasion.
Time is arguably the number one excuse used to do things, or perhaps to not do things. “I don’t have time for that...” When this is said it may not mean that a person in actuality doesn’t have time for that particular event or appointment. It often indicates that a person is running out of patience or is fed up with something. Whatever it is, it is not worth spending any more time on than one already has...

In our world of today, time is also equated to money: “Time is money”. If you have time you can use it effectively, productively and permit it to result in earning a living. And there may be instances where ‘having time’ for just about anything one would want to do ~ it in itself becomes worth a lot of money. Money spend to buy time.

In nature, rather than our linear experience, time runs in cycles. The cycles of day and night, the cycles of the moon, the cycles of the seasons. And independent what event is taking place in nature, there is always time to complete the process.
In nature there are no set times in which things need to be finished ~ somehow everything starts and ends at just the right time.
This doesn’t mean that there aren’t energy shifts in nature ~ there are! Those moments in time when the energy moves from one phase into the next. Yet it doesn’t mean that the leaves that started growing in Spring will stop growing with the Summer solstice. They will stop growing when they are mature.

There are shifts in energy noting the different phases of pretty much all cycles in nature ~ day and night, the new and the full moon, and the beginning of each season ~ and these energy shifts ‘keep time’ in a fairly flexible manner.
It seems like they are different, perhaps even polarities expressed in a cyclic or conceivably a spiral manner ~ allowing nature and us to evolve.
In the right and perfect time...

Could it be that this is at least part of the reason why our ‘normal’ days go by so fast where as a day spend in nature seems sheer endless?
