The meaning of "Time"

Time is a curious thing to me. It goes by and moves forward without giving us any choice. It is past, present and future all encapsulated in a second. It defines us as we move thru it and in it. Moments are blissfully ignored or significantly remembered forever. Time can either leave an indelible mark or it can be missed altogether. Remembering it's significance is up to us. It will be there just the same. Make the moments matter whether they are tiny little "ahhhh" awakening moments like the melody of happily singing birds in the morning or to the acknowledgment of everyday mundane stuff. How we view and experience time is what makes up the fabric in the quilt of our life with the events that unfold within it. I choose to be more present. To remember we are part and parcel of the same. We cannot be seperate from it while we are breathing. Time is a part of me in each passing moment as we are united and bound together. Living fully and in the moment is where I want to be. When I reflect on my past, I realize so much had been wasted by not paying much attention to the relevance of this very special gift. Yes, time is a gift! Some would give anything to have more of it. Life is much more than the blissful ignorance of it's worth. I vow to be more involved with its offerings rather than letting it just pass by un-noticed. Time is a mirror to telling us who we are and what we hope to be. When my time here on earth reaches its end for me, will I wish I had more or will I be ready to depart with resolve having a calm satisfaction of what "time" and its value has given me? Although, I'm never "on time" (to my husbands dismay) I naturally don't want to be too late for anything. One thing is certain... I am very blessed to be given what I have had thus far. For all its multi faceted ambiguous form and the process it allows and gives for each of us, I have a deep gratitude for my partnership with it and our experiences together, as well as, our developing relationship that is yet to come.
