time
Lately I have been thinking that time doesn't exist. Obviously it passes and we see it through lines in faces but as for truly understanding how it works and appreciating how short it can be, I really think humans have no concept. There are instances in my life that seem like yesterday while others seem like a lifetime ago. What does this have to do with now? I am in the middle of it. We are in the middle of it and without any concept of it the only option is to keep going and be happy right now.

Funny you should write this as the first entry to your blog. Please check the posting I did last Friday on the Faith Lutheran Church's Blogging the bible. It is similar to your post. It is almost impossible to live in the "now", it is so fleeting the the "now" barely registers on most people's awareness. People who say they live in the "now" feel they are more connected to their surroundings and environment but are they? Now is now only which quickly becomes then. The future is our anticipation of what we hope will happen when we get to that now, but it rarely is what we expected, sometimes worse and many times much better. Now what is time really? If you look at it with science it can be explained with math, and can be measured endlessly. But time is nothing but a device we use to mark our passage from the past through the "now" to the future.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to see what the "now" may actually look like, look up some of the photographs of Doc Harold Edgerton, MIT. Some of them are one millionth of a second, as close as time being stopped as mechanically possible. I have had his book, Stopping Time, your whole life. Look through it next visit.
