Appreciating the passing of time

[image error]

 

For some people, it is almost impossible to go about appreciating the passing of time. These folk perhaps feel they have so much to do with so few hours available to them, therefore time is be grasped onto tightly. Unfortunately acting in this way diminishes the pleasure of its passing and underlines, even more, the passing nature of time itself.

Appreciating the passing of time is an exercise we can undertake as part of a wider exploration into our relationship with impermanence. Given everything passes, we should possibly be open to the idea of not being able to either stop time or conserve it for later.

Using time wisely, on the other hand, is something we could and, dare we say, ought to learn to do. Our definition of wise will depend on our own situation, yet we need not reach the end of the day thinking ‘Where has the day gone?’ Looking back on the things accomplished would be a better way to end the day.

Appreciating the passing of time may be accompanied with a review of the manner we have developed over the course of the years. As youngsters, days were probably viewed as being endless as we faced life with optimism and hope. Today time is at a premium. As such, we attempt to focus on efforts to greater levels and undertake assignments attached to our objectives as opposed to those of others, or then again not.
