Once we
think we understand a situation is the moment the surprising, true facts emerge.
As the school year draws to a quick
close, one of our kids commented how time flew and that school should continue
for at least another month. What? By June, most students, parents, and teachers
yearn for the end of the long routine. Throughout the year, our child complains
about studying and school-related inconveniences that interrupt web-surfing and
other important activities, so it was bewildering to hear a call for more school
days. Time is a peculiar thing, and our perspective of it changes depending on
who (or what) we are and where we stand. Have a listen:
No wonder
flies escape us so easily and so often. Imagine how life would change if we perceived
time differently. Even now, dangerous close calls demonstrate how our reaction
times can make the difference between life and death. What situation is moving
too fast for you right now, and what would you do now if you knew you would run
out of time this week?
