Live like there is no tomorrow. There is no tomorrow, what we call tomorrow will very soon become now. Tomorrow's tomorrow becomes now, after a little more time. So what is time? The Hippy Dippy weatherman, George Carlin's breakout character, predicted periods of dark, followed by periods of light, and then periods of dark again. Time can be measured with a sun dial, for primitive human's, by the location of the sun, and the moon and stars. Hour glasses made with sand or water drips became an early measuring device of "time".. Time is circular, both the day and night cycle, and the annual season's. It is physically circular in the sun dial, and early clocks and watches used a circular dial of numbered hours. Again units of 12, the Gods of Greece and Italy. 12 months divide the annual calendar with 13 natural moon cycles, we always have to fashion nature around our human attributes.
To live the good life, and to live well, time must become nothingness. It should hold no power over us, and we should not live "on the clock". Not only does concern about measurements of time not change anything or help, it pulls us back from the flow of living life well. I have found that time as nothingness, not only eases the day, improves the natural flow of your walk, and it naturally expands in the microcosm of nothingness, leading to a macrocosm of wakeful living.
It is true, that nations, cities, businesses and families live according to a sleep at night, work the day, and eat what you have, when you can. This frank and sterile designation of how empowered time reduces our quality of living, justified as necessity. "Necessity" is the rationalization of the ego, and is almost always a dangerous life navigation. Owe no man, Roman's 13:8. Owe no time.
I will now reflect on song choices for today's podcast.
