RUNNING AGAINST TIME

Time is an interesting concept. I have never understood it. Hence, I would like to demystify it for you. Seconds, minutes and hours settle well inside our wrist watch. Days, months and years rest hanging on the wall over a calender. But, we all forsee the future or harp back on the past. Sometime with fondness and sometimes with tears. Fear is usually left for the future;alongwith anxiety. But really, what is time? Does one ever feel that one is walking through the space of time while the seconds are ticking by! We don't want to loose time. But, we are all doing it now, then, always. I think, time represents something. It is against whom we are all fighting, competing, interacting, evolving. We never realise it. If it wasn't for time, we would all be hibernating. Remember Polar bears. They have a body clock. It tells them that its time to sleep. From this winter to the coming summer. We are not winning anything, taking anything, leaving anything, making anything, changing anything. Our contribution to this world is negligible as regards to the consequence of this universe. We are only the product of our time. Our journey begins and ends with time. As soon as we do something, our creation vanishes. Because, time will ensure that it sweeps on it it's feet of emptiness. The sand clock has already started when we are born. We will leave without it, when we are gone....
