Impossible Dreaming

Take the months out of a year, take the weeks and days out, just follow what you see not what clocks and calendars tell you. Then we would have to relearn how to judge time and read the seasons - that would not be a retro step but a step into a greater reality. We would still have machines but only those that did not rule us but served. The world would slow down. Computers and televisions, which are also clocks and calendars, yet not anywhere as interesting as watching the mind as it creates all you can imagine, or watching the earth and sky changing, knowing when to do and when not to do, and when to work or when to relax, when to let the land rest, or when to go at it. When to listen, when to pray, knowing there is a time to be joyfully loud and a time to fall silent, a time even to make love. Time is only time when it is 'the' time, and Nature is only natural when it is both worshiped and feared as it should be, then it would be our perfect guide, our unfailing timepiece. However, a dream is but a dream, the past was brutal and life was short there is no way back now, we have taken too many steps into a mind-blinding technology. The unreal is now more real to us, we can only race forward into the darkness, counting the seconds.
