Measured against eternity, our time on earth is just a blink of an eye...
Rick WarrenИма две неща, които смъртният човек не бива да узнава: колко дни ще живее и колко пъти ще обича. Защото, ако знае, че са много, ще прахосва и двете като неочакван сън по клепките. И нито ще им се наслади, нито ще си вземе поуките от тях. Ако пък човекът знае, че дните или любовите му са малко, душата му се обръща на киселец: хем люти, хем киселее и всеки я стъпква в тревата, без да знае колко вкусна е всъщност чорбата от нея.
А и - добави най-накрая луната - и светът , както лятото, се преобръща изневиделица. Ако предсказаното в неродената земя се обърка?
Виж, ако дните на човека са повече, той ще умре само защото е повярвал, че са толкова, колкото е предсказано. Защото вече си е казал, че трябва да го стори. От този път връщане няма - и да оцелее душата, тялото умира.
Ако пък любовите са повече от предсказаното - човекът не вижда онези, които му идват отгоре. И да спрат на пътя му като бездомно кутре, не им вярва, защото вярва повече на предсказанията, отколкото на очите и сърцето си.
А когато човек подритне с крак жива любов, тогава и тялото, и душата му умират.
You can always make time for people. The point is, you have to want to.

Two years away. To an Incarnate, it's nothing. But when you have people who care about you, who you're excited about, each day becomes significant.

The feeling one has no time to get anything done provides the pressure that guarantees one does get some things done.

We're slammed at work and busy at home. Throw in an occasional outing with friends or significant others, and we're ready for bed at 10:00 PM every night. Really ready for bed. There's barely enough time in a day to cover all our mandatory obligations, so optional activities like novel writing, journaling, painting or playing music--things that feel great but no one will ever take us to task for shirking--are invariably left for another day.
Which is how most of us become 'one day' novelists. As in, 'One day, I'd really like to write a novel.' The problem is that that day never seems to come, and so we're stuck.
In this world, there are two times. There is mechanical time and there is body time."
"They do not keep clocks in their houses. Instead, they listen to their heartbeats. They feel the rhythms of their moods and desires."
"Then there are those who think their bodies don't exist. They live by mechanical time. They rise at seven o'clock in the morning. They eat their lunch at noon and their supper at six. They arrive at their appointments on time, precisely by the clock.

One of the schools of Tlön goes so far as to negate time; it reasons that the present is indefinite, that the future has no reality other than as a present hope, that the past has no reality other than as a present memory. Another school declares that all time has already transpired and that our life is only the crepuscular and no doubt falsified an mutilated memory or reflection of an irrecoverable process. Another, that the history of the universe — and in it our lives and the most tenuous detail of our lives — is the scripture produced by a subordinate god in order to communicate with a demon. Another, that the universe is comparable to those cryptographs in which not all the symbols are valid and that only what happens every three hundred nights is true. Another, that while we sleep here, we are awake elsewhere and that in this way every man is two men.
