Time Sweet Time

This old sundial is in the herb garden balanced upon a nice weathered stone. I happened to glance at it the other day and determined that it was almost 1:00 according to the sundial. I checked the time and yep, it was correct! I didn't underestimate the ability of the sundial but rather my placing it accurately. Time. It slips away without notice, without fanfare or announcement. Like water through your fingers it's there and then.....it's not. You can't save it, you can't retrieve it, it truly is past and nothing will bring it back. It's true that as you get older it seems to go faster. Already right at March and it feels like it was just the new year. So I have vowed to make the most of it, to do what I consider important and worthwhile and to relish life. Don't think there are things I don't enjoy doing or there aren't moments I think I could live without! But they all contribute to the tapestry that makes up my journey and are significant in some way or other. Time sweet time. How I value you.
