HOW DOES ONE KEEP TIME?
Time is a melody says the wonderful jack johnson (in between dreams: breakdown)(yes, the need to reference, plagirism of such a beautiful thought is a crime). And its true, you could make a grand sonata out of how some people have used their time, yet only a dull thud and twang out of some others'. Mine will be all strings. I wish I had some percussion, but rythm is not easy to find. Is that a handicap? I have nothing to help me keep time.
But I don't see time as something to keep, time to is to listen and to experience, like music. You can't keep time. That such an illogical idea, to keep time, there's nothing in or about time that we can keep. We are so obsessed with it! Of our time running out, of the clock ticking, we must jam pack everything into everyday because time lost never returns...
They would say, I'm a young fool, whos too young too out of touch with my own mortality. Once I have my first near death experience, I'll probably snap out of this rich revierie, that only someone with too much time on their hands can indulge in anyway.
