Its elasticity is in fact a mystery ~ while time is free to flee as quick as lightning sometimes it drags on for lengths of eternity. And for all our hankering and longing that time would move according to our wishes, it's never anything but a fool's machination. While youth is just a memory away ~ the magician waves his wand, and without a trace into thin air, poof! the decades swiftly vanish.

oh, how quickly the decades vanish....seems surreal when I pause and think about the magnitude of time. Marvelously written. Faving.
