Time

Time it marches onward in a steady pace.
Yet, sometimes time moves slowly or moves too quickly.
But perhaps time is only a mortal thing.

When we are learning and are productive constantly throughout the day doesn't it seem like time most quickly? You were able to do and learn so much in a small amount of time that you can practically feel your mind and self progressing. However, when we are lazy or unhappy or our spirits are weary, time seems to be trotting along at the slowest pace possible.

Sometimes I wonder. Is an aspect of mortality to be learning about time? Because as immortal beings we wouldn't otherwise understand it? Are we to learn to be organized and not wasteful in our time allotted to us?

It's only been 27 days since I've been in Rexburg. I say only, but there are times when 27 days is long, but sometimes it can be short. In anycase, I have been here for 27 days. I've made great friends. Met new people. Felt my world widen around me. Feel my mind making connections as I absorb knowledge like a slightly damp sponge soaks up water, but my brain doesn't have a limit on how much it can hold. I discover that I have lived with the barest hint of the Large Picture of Everything. So time moves so quickly, yet I'm learning so much. Much more then I ever have before.

The question becomes: Is 27 days a long time? Or is it short?

There is just so much to contemplate on this matter of time.

I love it. :D
