“Time Well Spent” – Time with the Divine/Spirituality/Timeless, Eternal Now
Life may be viewed as a series of instances of time–each Now a Present with which to do something; to spend however we will. Consciously, what defines a good life? More often, it can be said that a good life is time well spent. Here is a link to a video about time featuring George Carlin:
This places a lot of emphasis on what we choose to DO. Let’s face it–out of all the seconds in any given day, we may choose to do just about anything. If we have the means, we may relax and take things easy. If we have many responsibilities, we may be on the go constantly, with very little time to relax.
Many of us work or have jobs covering a variety of different subjects. These days, few of us are schooled or skilled in just one area alone. We are diverse beings, many of whom are no longer known for one area of expertise. Consider that any one of us, beyond being who we are deep down inside, are often so much more to the outside world.
We may wake up in the morning being “me,” but once we venture forth, we may be “Mom” or “Dad,” we may be “brother” or “sister.” Occupationally, we may be “bus driver” or “mail carrier.” We may be “farmer” or “office manager.” Sometimes, we are best known by our avocation: “flutist,” “knitter,” or “modeler.”
