Peace with time

I have made my peace with time. I remember one of the crazy things that I once tried to do. I tried concentrating all my energies to stop the time (this was nothing more than closing my eyes, thinking just about what I wanted it to be like, and giving up once I realized it was not happening at all!). I did it, it was intense and I failed. I probably stopped the time in the respect that the moment got permanently etched in my memory, though not the result I was looking for. I probably wanted it to manifest itself as a complete absence of any physical movement, ageing or thought.

I haven't thought about it, I am not sure I completely understand what time really means. I can feel it, I think about it, I want to grab hold of it sometimes. The concept of a passing time is what really invokes emotions and rids me of emotions.

Ennui, frustration, restlessness, hope, happiness, pleasure : all emotions have invisible strings that bind them to the concept of time.

I get this wonderful feeling observing the time passing by now. It is such a grand concept, so much bigger that the concepts of love, life, civilization. Imagine thousands of years from now and the time would still tick, it would exist regardless there is life of not. Whether there is love or not. I feel so powerless and so does everything else, what a relaxing feeling.
