When the good old days become distant memories and the hopeful future becomes the present. When the generation ahead of you has gone away and those behind you start creeping up. Time moves by like the wind, you feel it passing but never see it go. You know something in the air has changed or moved but can't quite put your finger on it. Time is quick and powerful. Time is slow and gentle. The wind can move us. We can sometimes make wind move. Time is a concept that cannot be understood. It takes its form in the mind. Time differs according to each person. Time for me is slow during the day and fast at night. It is powerful in a race. It is mighty when with loved ones. Time is gentle when spent alone. It is soft when I am sleeping. Time depends on my attitude. I depend on time for my attitude. Time is an exact moment or a vague estimate. I truly believe that while time is important, it does not matter what the time is when you are laughing, praying, helping, caring, or loving. Time can not interfere with life. The best memories are not remembered by the time but by the moment. What is time for you?
I like your reflections, Rebekah. "When the generation ahead of you has gone away and the generation behind you start creeping up" Life keeps moving, doesn't stay static. Days past cannot be retrieved. Treasure the moment!
