Time and time again

“Time is the longest distance between two places.” - Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie

 

We all know that feeling of time passing so quickly when we are having fun. Time is perceptual. Distance is also perceptual. Isn’t everything?

 

I offer an example. When Marc goes away to play music with Celine, he leaves for a month on average. The first few days and the last few days are always the longest. In between I tame the empty feeling brought on by his absence. It becomes familiar like there is Marc here and then Marc away. That is the feeling of Marc away. I know it. I recognize it and I live with it. It is the time we are apart that makes the biggest difference. Were he a 5 hour drive away or a 20 hour flight away does not really change anything. He is gone for a time. 

 

Now I am counting the hours. There are less than 12 before he arrives home. Each one can be sub-divided an infinite amount of times. No wonder they pass so slowly.

 

Namaste!
