Timing
Morganne Michel Pickering
In Harmony: Living From Your HeartMind
Can you believe we are already in the 3rd month of the year…I receive e-mails every day about the acceleration of time, the various events, influences and energies that are coming together to make this happen…and all I want to do is accomplish my “ to-do-list” to-day!
In business you are taught and oft reminded that timing is everything. And who of us has not (many times) looked back and thought… if only I had moved quicker, thought faster, had had enough time to…
This whole “idea” that time is speeding up unsettles me… I feel pushed, prodded and un-acccomplishing ? each day… never enough time!!
There have been many scientific studies, astrological studies, metaphysical studies, planetary studies, environmental studies , religious and spiritual studies, and just plain winging-it studies.
All I know and feel is that I am tired of thinking of time. Too much information, what to do with it all and where is the time to process and integrate all this stuff.
We (the culture) created “time”…so why can’t we un-create it?? I for one would love to un-create “day-light-saving time.” This is an outmoded idea particularly in our techi world; the majority of us don’t have to get up early to be in touch with the monetary markets…what a way to run a life!! And the farmers…I’m sure they know how to tell time, without the aid of a law or a watch…as they live and breathe the cycles of life and nature.
Maybe the better word is “space” This is a jargon word that in a certain context for “time” becomes a noun… and from that we can see/feel and carve out an emptiness that we can fill as we choose… relax into the “space” that we can claim anytime we choose.
One thing that I know for sure, I require more space/time to do nothing. In that nothingness I may ponder (whatever), notice what and who is right in front of me, enjoy the beauty of my immediate surroundings, appreciate the seasons, the various changes that each brings, look forward to the various activities, light changes, the bird song, colours and fragrances and the play and fun of each time. I want to stttttrrrreeeetttccchhhh my space/time.
I want to savour it, wallow in it, immerse myself in it, relax and enjoy each moment (oops there is that time thing again)… But you get the idea…. and hopefully you will un-create time in your life and teach others how to do it too…
A so much healthier and life appreciating / enhancing way to be.
