It's been quite some time since I wrote last on the blog. I've been working on finishing a short story for a writing project by Reliance Timeout. (reliancetimeout.thefullerlife.com). I've been busy with that and a couple of friends who are in town.
Now that it's a Sunday and I get some time to myself, I've been reading and I came across a lyric on time. It's nothing new, but the way it's written is fascinating.
How marvellous must the invention of a sun dial must have been? I think I'll put one out in my yard someday.

Time was is past - Thou canst it not recall.Time is thou hast -Employ thou portion small.Time future, is not, andmay never be. Time present,is the only time for thee.It doesn't tell us anything new, but the lyrical style has stayed with me. On a related (and yet unrelated?) note, I was thinking about how amazing it would have been to be able to tell the time from a sun dial. No watches, no batteries and no equipment. Just the mind and a stick that tells the time perfectly.
