Day And Hour

Good morning, Ed...I have known hours that were like a minute and minutes that were hours.  Waiting for something special takes hour-minutes.

next flight....or perhaps a phone call
that never comes...  welcome home..

You've used so few words to say so much... my reply won't follow your example, though. *G* You make a blonde think, you get verbose. *G*

An hour can be infinitesimal or infinite... depending on the perspective. *S* And a day may be a small portion of a life... or the standard by which that life is measured. *S*

I'll vote for timeless every time. *S* This is beautiful.

time is such an enigma .. it really
has no definition .. I like your
wonderfully brief look at it

seems like the beautiful moments we want to savor are so fleeting, and the lousy ones stick

Wonderfully put...it just seems that the older I get the faster time goes by...I have come to the conclusion that there is not much time in live so it is best just to live it the best I can...sometimes I wish an hour would last forever...

Some of them do last forever.....and if you're really lucky, some of the days last forever....but that doesn't happen often -- once every lifetime or so....

The days and weeks that we have to wait to be together take forever........then there are certain moments when we are together that are timeless, because we forget all time......and then the last hour before we are apart again passes in a minute, it seems.

Very good, thought-provoking write, Ed. Thank you.
