Time

Ever really give it some study?  Time, that is?

The dictionary says, "Time has long been a major subject of science, philosophy and art. The measurement of time has occupied scientists and technologists, and was a prime motivation in astronomy."  Actually, it says a lot more, but I started getting a severe headache and abandoned that venue.

We all have some Time.  We just don't know how much Time we really have.  What occasionally bothers me is those other people who want some of my Time.  "Got a minute?"  Yes, I probably have several, but do I want you to have them?  I only have so many unknown minutes, and now you want some.  Why don't you borrow some sugar instead?

"There's not enough Time in a day."   We always want more Time, and can't even take care of the Time we have.  We waste Time doing things, spend Time doing other things, and take Time to do some more stuff. 

"Time is money."  Personally, I have waited a long Time for Time to show up in my wallet in the form of spendable cash.  I think this one's a story made up by people who have real money to keep the rest of us using our Time instead of theirs.

We spend our Time watching Time go by, so we can spend more Time doing something else.  We dress up Time in fancy and plain Timekeepers, when in fact those items don't keep our Time at all.  Look at the clock … do you see any Time stored away? 

We mark Time, do Time and let Time heal.  There's no Time like the present, have Time on our hands, and witness changing Times.  Things happen Time after Time, in the nick of Time, until Time's up. 

I need to take a Time out.
