Meditation on Time

I awake at 5;30 quickly realizing that it's actually 6:30. I don't know if I like this early Daylight Saving Time or not. It used to come in April. When did they change it? I don't remember.

I do like the 24-hour cycle of time. Each day is the chance to start over. Each day presents the chance to do better than I did the day before.

Yesterday I was out looking for liquid ivory soap. This is all we use. The lady at the Rite Aid in Pelham looked at my driver's license and remarked that she and I were of the same generation except that I was pre-Korean War and she was post-Korean War. I had never heard her term pre-Korean War before, but I like it.

As the 60's becomes more and more remote, I realize that I have fewer and fewer people to connect with who understand the historical time that I identify with. My historical frame of reference becomes less and less accessible. This makes me feel more and more isolated unless I keep in touch with people of the same period.

There is no time like the present! This is where we are now.
