I am a procrastinator. As such, I often think of TIME and ponder on its meaning ... all this while TIME is slipping by and the things I have to do don't get done! Do you know what I mean? However, I have come to realize that TIME is a purely human invention or concept, albeit a necessary one. In any society, there has to be a common understanding of the concept of TIME and an acceptance of the meaning that the particular society gives it. That does not mean that all societies (or individuals!) have to accept that particular definition of TIME. And that is what makes it so hard for a procrastinator to operate in a TIME-obsessed society!

I was pondering that these last few days, as I was trying hard to find a topic for this blog! Have you noticed that there is no TIME in Nature? We speak of an early Spring or a late Fall, but is there a clock somewhere in the bowels of the earth that decides that Spring has to be on March 22nd or Fall on September 21st? No, both come when Nature is ready for it, whether it is a month "later" or a week "sooner". Even the sun and the moon do not set or rise at a set time every day ... we are the ones who have set the hour and the minute of their rising and setting, but it's never the same!

I think that we, in the Western world have somehow become obsessed with TIME. Some people actually judge the quality of a person by their promptitude – or lack of! They will quite likely have a hard time getting used to Heaven, where there is no TIME. How blissful that will be for us poor procrastinators! What do you think? Will the world stop turning (and marking TIME!) if one is not on TIME for an appointment or a meeting? Well, there it is .... and now it's TIME for me to send this Blog ... but I would really love to hear what you think .... if you have TIME!
