Time is a human construct – how we measure life, classes, services. Abiding by its own rules, Nature plays with time, evolving forward, recoiling back.
Despite the tight grip of humanity on chronology, its measure is intruded upon regularly. Common experiences fiddle with time – boredom stretches, ecstasy evaporates time, anxiety deepens it.
Trauma can reduce an entire life to flashback, yet seem endless, leaving a permanent, but ever-changing mark on a personal landscape.
Recently, the 8.9 magnitude earthquake near Japan resulted in untold personal grief and tragedy as well as a geographic shift of Earth’s mass – potentially shortening our days (albeit a couple millionths of a second) – and contributing further to the tilt of Earth’s axis.
Time and Nature. As above, so below. By person, or by planet – when ground shakes – time flies.
Shouldn't...but Do
