The sun sets on another day…
It is the end of February. Soon, it will be March, and then it will be beyond. The sun is beautiful today again, and the sky is lit up by the light show high above. I smiled as I looked through the trees and saw the color light up everything. It was good.
It’s kind of funny how fast time sometimes flies. It’s even funnier when time seems to stop. A few weeks ago, I was in a unique situation where I didn’t sleep for almost a week. There’s a lot to that. Some of it was very frustrating, a lot of it was very painful. In the end, my perception of time was one of the most interesting things that I experienced.
You see as time passed it really didn’t. I was lost in the moment and if I’ve closed my eyes for even a second and felt as though I slept when I opened them seconds had passed. It was a very unique feeling watching time slowly slip by and thinking about a million million things in between.
I suppose that’s why life is sometimes interesting. Stephen King wrote a story about this that I feel very strongly everyone should read. The story outlines how time is an amazing fluid experience. Stephen King wields the words like a master and in the end, you can only question why you didn’t see time this way before. Personally, I was quite amazed when I read that piece.
Over the next few months, I’m going to try to recount some of my experiences over the last several weeks. I will probably not do it here, but I can say the time is precious no matter how you perceive it. Time is the one thing we can never recover. Time is the one thing that defines us and the world. Perhaps that is why I rage against time sometimes and perhaps often because time is difficult to overcome. Time marches forward and we only follow.
So as the sun sets on another day, February is almost gone but I hope you had a good time. I hope you feel deeply and understand everything around you. Mostly I hope you know that you are special just as you are. Nothing needs to define you further than who you are every day. Keep being you and make the world yours, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and March forward…
