TIME

time.... i think....

 is relative and only relevant to the individual.....

(assuming we're confining our discourse to the homo sapien}...

there is really no time one can pinpoint and use

 related to 

anything in the universe as we know it or the lack of knowledge thereof....

for even the so called "big bang" cannot yet be pinpointed...

by the great scientists and mathematicians...

there is only time that we can refer to and use with respect

to our physical

existence on the planet....

... from day one or the first minute of birth...

one starts to count time for any purpose related

to growth, accomplishments, failures or loss of opportunities

or inaction or passiveness...

though we are made aware and become consciously aware of time,

it's continued movement is beyond our control....

and as our physical bodies progress from birth till maturity

time only serves as a marker or referral point

to our movement and growth.

to refer to a time last year,

Christmas time in

particular....

SF PEBS

 had a catching up

gathering

at Stonestown

for about 4 hours.

We had fun...greeted each other

warmly and enjoyed the

Godiva chocolates and coffee

Ramon bought...

Theresa and Matt have a kick starter

cd project, Penelope is still

working on her book about

Rizal's travels...Dina, Ksenia, Arina

and Karen couldn't

make it for the gathering, Ramon is

going about his daily routine

of work and not much play,

and I working on my paintings....

there wasn't much new, really ...

though progress might be

said happening in our lives

on an individual basis.

One might say time had slowed down,

or one might claim it's going too fast...

but it's all in relation to the progress or retrogress

happening  in our lives.

To a romanticist....time is not really counted,

but would care to refer to it only to 

enjoy life...

"stop and smell the roses", is his 

favorite adage...

if you're this type of a person,

you can bet there's plenty of us,

since the  beginning of time,

which i really don't have an idea of

when is when....

but who cares ....

for as long as the roses are

there for all of us.

that's all folks!
