Time Clock

What is time 
But the incessant
        tick
             tick
                   ticking away
Of the immediate 
Present

Carpe diem? I don't think that's possible, M. Time is like grains of sand...it just slips through your fingers.

Great piece of writing; this subject needs a lot of attention. As compared to the billions of light years separating galaxies, we appear to be smaller than an angstrom. We have very little spare time to accomplish anything other than focus on staying alive.

What's more important than that? Thanks, S P.

Jim, wonderful write, actually I have been giving this exact thing a lot of thought lately, in one click a thought, deed or experience is the past, so why we choose to hang on, blessings, Constance

Thanks, Constance. I don't think there is a truly acceptable answer to your question. Probably because we can't do anything about either the past or the future, and have very little time to do anything except try to survive the present.
