Day 4 - 200 -- The Nature of Time

Working on two major tasks today saw one finished and the other with a good start. My goal is to finish the second project by the end of the work week. I found that I was taking time to laugh at a few silly things rather than letting them pull me down. The temperature was warm but with cloud cover this morning. That made walking into work pleasant.

Full sun on the way home made things feel very hot -- like what I experienced in Spain last September -- HOT! It was interesting to realize it had been some time since experiencing heat of this nature. To me that is a good thing. Heat and I, especially with the humidity of the day, do not fair well together. I was able to cool in the air-conditioned restaurant with a friend. Great conversations were involved. We then went to the dress rehearsal of a new play that dealt with the theme of time passing. There were many metaphorical aspects which can be pondered for some time. Three actors played five (well six really <smile>) with many lines to deliver. Things went very well for a preview night. One prop fell over near the end -- a canoe paddle -- and this was dealt with naturally by the actor. Thoreau was quoted several times regarding his thoughts on time. I found I laughed often, was fully engaged with the characters, and even teared up once. A great evening out.

With the time at work and conversations about the future today, the song that came to mind deals with time and its elusive nature. It speeds past if we don't pay attention. Goals are great, but getting there is the actual journey -- goals are just the destination. Another great Canadian band here with a video of much younger looking folks. The circular movement made me feel a bit dizzy, so be forewarned if you suffer from vertigo. Enjoy!
