I am constantly plagued by the passing of time.
The nearing of the end.
The ticking away of hours turning into years.
Mostly washed away, never taken back.
The closer I get to thirty,
the farther I feel to have missed my place.
Thirty used to feel so far out of reach.
Way up high, an aspiring age to build towards.
And once I'd get there, I imagined to have something worthwhile to show.
Surely, I wouldn't still be where I have always been.
Or so I dreamily thought...
Yet here we are, a mere few months away from the big ol' dirty thirties.
Oh, time must have played a trick on me!
I always thought to have more secret minutes, kept hidden safely up my sleeve.
Treasured, well protected, never spent superfluously.
I sense this will be one of those sweet lessons to learn. One that can only be shared, as a wiser old woman, some day.
But I already know, that many won't even hear past the grey.
They'll just smile in respect,
and stop by for a warm embrace.
Don't you know, everyone needs the freedom to live their life full of wonderful mistakes.
And most importantly of all, everyone needs to know, that time's end is not somewhere far off in space.
So wrap the time you have left in tiny boxes and some lace,
and whisk it off to people, who deserve to have a taste,
of what its like to be seen, and to be heard, and to be known.
Let's spend the precious time we have, on people near and far. For they are the only true investment that will reach beyond the stars.
Use time by way of really getting to know people; always valueing and helping out. I believe that's when time is at its very best. So don't think of sitting down to share a meal with a loved one, having a coffee with an acquaintance, or stopping for a moment to share time with a stranger, as a break between importance.
The ones with the beating hearts and the searching souls are of Utmost Earnestness.
Do we think everyone is important? I mean, I know we think some people are definitely more important than others. But do we think that everyone is a little, tiny bit important? If we all really honestly lived like that, I think many things in the world would change.
Is everyone a little bit important?
The amount of time we give to people, indicates how much we value their importance. I hope that we have enough courage to give some people, at the very least, a few minutes and others, of course, our whole lives.
But no one should be left with none at all.
