Today, I went for my bike ride, usually about 25 miles or so. Getting used to it now, but when I first started Man, it hurt! Over time, It didn't hurt anymore.
When I got home, I got some ice tea and sat in the yard. The sun was shining through the clouds, creating a streaming light show of straight line rainbows, from the bottoms of them. One my most favorite sights of all time. Just a beautiful day.
As I sat there, I remembered the first time I had ever seen that sight. I was 10 Years old, and living in Fair Lawn New Jersey. I was walking down the street in front of our old house that was there, which,later was replaced by a Temple of some kind, preventing Visits there in later years. kind of sad actually.
I was walking with my sister Patty, and Junior, a friend. I remember seeing that sight, and stopping in awe.
As I looked up, I said "the end of the world" to my sister... (seems the end of the world was going to be a good thing back then)... There was no fear, no Knowing anything about Anything about God or whatever may cause that, Just a good feeling.
Looking back now, Man,Wasn't It Great to be a kid? to just look up and say that? just "matter of fact" sort of ya know?
Then I said something, I remember to this very second. I said "In the year 2000, I will be 50 years old". Remember, this is 1960, and the year 2000 may as well have been the year 2 Million to me, Cause Time stretched out in front of us like an eternity. All 3 of us Really were not concerned about it, We were Just walking down the street daydreaming.
At the time, I had no idea ,I was at the moment of creation of a memory, that would turn that moment into one of those signposts of life, One of the crumbs that we would throw down behind us as we went along, so we would remember our way home If we ever got lost someday. We were just walking down the street, and unknowingly just passed it by...who knew?
Well today Is the year 2010, And I saw that sky again. Just like it was in 1960. This time, instead of moving on...I stopped. Then I remembered . I remembered An entire Lifetime in what was most likely, only a few seconds. 50years had passed by since that day, and I was only now, once again, seeing that crumb... To me? Right then, It seemed Like 50 minutes had passed. So Before I left the moment this time, I made sure I picked up that crumb,carefully filed it away, and replaced it with a new one. That my friends, Is Joy and wonder! Give it a try you might just like it...
It reminded me of some lyrics. (from 100ys)
Half time goes by.
Suddenly you're wise.
Another blink of an eye.
67 is gone.
The Sun is gettin' High.
We're Moving On...
TIME What is it really? We can see the time we went through, but not the time we will yet go through.
Maybe, that's because Time is not the road. Maybe time Is the RESULT of our passing down the road. Left behind for us to measure and chart and use, Like the Crumbs we leave behind in our lives.
The fabric of space controls things. ENTROPY, If you will, is the controller.
And TIME is whats left behind as footprints. not was lies before us.
I know, that's a little bit of deep water, But THINK about it. We cannot go faster down the road of Entropy, by making our clocks go faster, you know? The path is chosen by us, and all we can do with TIME, is leave our crumbs behind for us to measure it with.
I brought that up tonight, because, Today was one of those days I will measure My Time on this Earth with.
50 Years?
Hey...."don't Blink"
PEACE G
