During my busiest days at work, twenty-four hours just don't seem enough. I almost want to hold my hand out in the air and try to grasp the seconds and minutes as if I could stop them from moving on, like a little girl trying to catch bubbles.
In truth, we're all just pottering, fiiling the time we have here, only we like to make ourselves feel bigger by compiling lists of importance.
So this is what you do when it all slows down and the minutes that tick by feel a little longer than before. You take your time. You breathe slowly. You open your eyes a little wider and look at everything. Take it all in. Rehash stories of old, remember people, times and occasions gone by. Allow everything you see to remind you of something. Talk about those things. Stop and take your time to notice matter. Find out the answers you didn't know to yesterday's crosswords. Slow down. Stop trying to do everything now,
now,
now.
