Today and time.  Time
isn’t real, we all get that in some way, I think.  There are seasons, day, night, movement of
the planets–all cycles or spirals that slowly change in the depth of the
revolution.  But time, when we talk about
it, is really a topic of the choices we make.

“I don’t have time” really means that I have other
priorities than what you are suggesting, or I don’t want to change my addictive
priorities, i.e., I don’t have time to exercise, but let’s go out and have a
drink.  There is a saying that the people
who are the busiest are those you ask for help–because they “make time”.

So when we fuss about not having time, it’s time (sic) to
look at choices and priorities.  Do we
put the kids first really, or business? 
Do we choose to sit in quiet meditative-type silence, or run off to get
that latte?  Do I turn away from my
computer and connect with the trees over there, bending in the wind, waving at
me?  And the next question is–what would
happen if I did consciously choose something that is in the ideal of me and
decide against the quick-fix, instant gratification voice inside of me.

Life would maybe be a bit slower.  The murky illusionary waters of confusion and
doubt and despair and fear just might subside and the truth would be seen–that
blue sky beyond all clouds: Divine Moments, pure Beauty, and instantly
gratifying peace.

It’s time.
