Ages

I wanted to start this post off with a quote from St. Augustine: 

"I know what time is until you ask me for a definition about it, 

and then I can’t give it to you"

We live by a calendar, with a non stop concern about our schedule, but we never stop to think and appreciate moments since they are our day's fuel.  Even as it seems that they are in abundance, there is a term coined by the humankind which i like to revisit in these times: Chance of a lifetime.  That chance is a instant in the abundance of moments throughout your existence. Single unit of time that can change the course of your life.  One strong wind can sway your arrow in a new direction.

As you look at your watch today be grateful that there is something bigger than ourselves that keeps us focused and in order. 

Time ages us all

engaged  in our thrall

but we still climb and wager the fall

against the slime edge of the wall.

Individuals using the inclined wedge to crawl
to the goal, whose main pledge is to stall
can not recall their rage in a brawl
since time cages them all!

The recent earthquake in Chile tipped the Earth's axis. 

"The change is negligible, but permanent: Each day should be 1.26 microseconds shorter, according to preliminary calculations. A microsecond is one-millionth of a second."
