time
waits for no one.
the year 2011 will pass in a few days
and finally “class of 2012″ won’t sound so distant anymore.
what a strange concept time is!
it can’t be seen or contained
the more it is observed the slower it passes, but
pay it no attention
and it’ll be gone before you know it.
spend it with a less than interesting person or event
and it can’t go by soon enough.
yet when you spend it with someone you love
it seems as if even all the time in the world
is not time enough to be had.
even the slightest bits of reflection will tell you that
time does not slow down for anyone.
with that being said
in a life where time quite literally flies by
it pays to wait.
“nothing in life worth having comes easy.”
i think waiting for the things that matter most to you
is a way of coming to grips with the reality of being mortal
of being finite and ephemeral.
everything else in life is blazing by
so why not slow down in the parts that we can
and make the most of opportunities in the present.
for myself i choose to wait
to resolve to actively wait for that where the heart is.
find yourself a treasure worth resting on.
growing older is inevitable
though it is inherently different from growing up.
i wonder where we’ll be one year from now
with 2012 all but finished with.
sometimes it seems that the only thing faster than time itself
is my own imagination.
try to catch up if you can!
