Time Flies

I just stumbled upon this picture... It is hard to believe that I took this in NYC almost 5 years ago. My how time flies.

It seems impossible to determine where it goes. Perhaps time must fly away from those of us who notice and by its leaving then time is provided to those who do not notice its comings and goings. Perhaps it is part of the whole cycle of life so to speak.

Is it just me or does the discussion of time lend itself to nervous behavior. Even as I type these very words I feel that there are things that must be done rather than discuss the thoughts related to the topics. There is a sort of anxiousness derived by the acknowledgement that time is not eternal. At some point it overtakes us. The nervous energy is soon overtaken by a sense of hopelessness. The hopelessness lends itself to inactivity. Perhaps in an state similar to paralysis. Thus, a vicious cycle presents itself. There is an acknowledgement of the fleeting nature of time, followed by the need to progress in some direction, followed by an anxiety related to the lack of knowledge or ability to proceed, followed by an acknowledge that the lack of forward momentum seems to make time fly faster. and so the vicious circle goes.

Over time I have attempted several opportunities all for the hope of "time freedom". What does "time freedom" really mean anyhow? To me it means the ability to do things with your time. Today was an absolutely beautiful day. Instead, of spending it doing something that I would enjoy I spent a chunk of it installing computers. I am taking a 10 minute break to type this note as opposed to doing the homework that I did not complete earlier in the day today. So on and so forth.

It could be providencial but I just saw the previews for the new movie regarding time as I was closing out this post.
