Ways of Being

I have two very different ways of being. One is full with feeling and enchantment that I think of as a poetic sensibility. The other is more emotionally detached, rational, restrained. When I work creatively these ways of being intermingle.

I feel most with others and with nature. When I feel most I sense myself most alive. I think most when alone. I prefer not to be alone yet know being so is as vital for my well being as to be with others.

The Limit of Time

I think more about time, its value, and limit. These are difficult ideas.

Whatever I do is placed in time. Every breath I take. Things I hear and see, touch, taste and smell.

However I act is placed in time. Time stores my sense of being alive. Time is where I come to know.

Those things I value most exist outside of time.

When I experience love, compassion and beauty I sense their nature unconstrained, unlimited by time.

The Price of Time

Time: a way to think about what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen.

When I think of 'my time' I think of events and experiences that are constrained by my being present.

Time is the place I live within. In order to acquire, I give my time: I do something.

Money provides a model for me to sell my time. What and how much I do is given a price depending on my age, gender, location, culture, how attractive I am, and how skilled or clever I am perceived as.
