Heartwings Love Notes 745 - Where Does the Time Go?

Heartwings says, "Being so slippery, time is not easy to manage."

Sometimes time resembles a big clump of jelly like substance. I try to hold onto it but instead it squeezes through my fingers and
disappears. Finding time, using time, saving time…all these are illusions generated by my wanting to accomplish what I want to do
when I want to do it. Perhaps I need to think of time differently. If I focused on what needs doing rather than trying to find the time to
do it would I manage better?

To be sure I keep lists of the tasks I hope to accomplish right now or in the near future: phone calls to be made, deadlines for
submission, household tasks to be done. Then there are other items on my lists that do not have a time consideration: letters to be
written, information to be googled, piles to sort through. It is these that seem to revolve endlessly, making their way from list to list
until I "find the time" to do them and finally cross them off.

Sometimes they fall off the list, never to be seen again. Because none of this type of task is actually necessary it seems more
difficult to get done. It is also possible that they don't matter, or else that I have given them more importance than they originally
deserved. It isn't always easy to know what is important and what is merely something it would be nice to do if there was time to do
it. And there's that word again: time.

Have you ever noticed that it can take the same amount of actual clock time to come home as it does to go somewhere, yet it
seems to take much longer to go than it does to come home? This is just one more mystery I experience involving the passage of
time. However, to be honest I usually find that I always have enough time when I focus on the doing part rather than the amount of
time to do it. Perhaps that is because there really is no such thing as time at all.

May you always have as much time as you need when you need it.
