I like the understanding that Einstein and others have- Time is not absolute and just a man-made concept to compartmentalize things- Yet, when you watch the seconds tick by on a stopwatch, they seem steady…. Seconds don’t suddenly jump ahead or reverse- Today is today, yesterday is never anything but yesterday, and tomorrow stays tomorrow, right?

I would love to be wrong about that and think there are folds in time allowing future events to creep into our subconscious-  In that sense, I’m somehow already subconsciouslly aware of things that happen in the future , and dejavus are evidence of time’s duplicitous nature- Compelling, but so hard to grasp, right?

Life is made up of seconds and minutes and hours and days and weeks and months and years, so time IS measurable, right? If we threw out the calendars and clocks, would some days feel longer? I guess you can’t ask that question because you’re measuring again, a “day”, and we just threw out the calendars and clocks and watches! Before calendars were so rigidly observed, when the sun came up, folks got up and went to work and ended their day when the sun went down, so obviously in the Fall and Winter they worked less because there was less daylight- But that didn’t mean the days were shorter, because the nights were longer, of course…

I know I’m stating the obvious, but that’s the obviousness I’m trying to relate; that time IS a graspable thing, and I’m pretty sure we have a grasp on it- That being said, Einstein was definitely smarter than me, so maybe I’ll figure it out when I’m older and I have more time on my hands-

By the way, it took me 14 minutes to write this, but two of those minutes were spent walking into the city market and getting a beer- So this writing effort took 12 minutes, but as I’m tabulating these figures, I’m up to 13- Maybe time is more of a trip than I thought-
