Measures of Time

"Idle, wasted time rapidly escapes in boredom; active, creative time lingers longer in diversions." _by Poet The measure of earth time is set for us by numbers on a clock, and by the sun. Our calendars and seasons are a plus, as are the holidays that meter fun. But, speed of time- within oneself is spun. In younger years- time passes slowly, then reverses, as we age, to speed up fast. Why is that so? A thesis is- that when time zooms- too little stimulus is cast! To slow it down, zoom life- and feel time last.

Escaping familiarity can be as simple as pursuing a new hobby, meeting new people, pushing boundaries, and learning new skills. The point is to break out of routine."
