On the Move (n+1)

Slowed by injury

More is seen in fine detail

Time stretches to suit

On Waiting

Time no enemy

Offers up precious seconds

Gifts for you alone

On Time and Space

The Sun sheds light on another day

Earth circles and spins

Calendar turns to new year

Nothing as before

.

n.b. In some respects we are back at the beginning, but this is not so. This solar system has been moving through the Universe whilst our blue planet has rotated on its axis and circumnavigated the Sun. We are at a place we have not been before and we will never return. The saying, “Never go back” is spurious advice; we cannot as “back” no longer exists. Forward is all there is.

.

See how fast the new year goes? It is already the 3rd day.

On Sand

Running through our hands

Can you see each grain that passes?

Feel them? Taste the grit?

On the March

Where has this month gone?

I’ve not got used to writing

Twenty Nineteen yet!

.

p.s. What is this cruel trick? I have so many things still to do and this is my 60th year. Time to catch my breath, learn to breathe and slow things down. If I do, will my remaining days pass more slowly? I promise to take more care of each one.
