Can Time Stand Still?

Good relationships are like needles of a clock, They only meet for
sometime but always stay connected . How very true it is. 

It means that we should give each other the much needed space to feel fulfilled in any relationship. We can learn so many things by just watching the clock.

Clocks are so fascinating, they not only keep moving endlessly, but also keep us moving, we can never slow down, never race it and we can never stop its progress.

Clock can never be conquered too. And it is always watching.

We have different feeling about the clock, sometimes we are angry with it for moving so fast, and there are times when we feel it is moving too slowly.

However, isn't it surprising, that clock is always working exactly in the way it is meant to work, and it is our mind that is always playing tricks with us?

Here are some thoughts about Clocks:

Time is the most undefinable yet paradoxical of things; the past is
gone, the future is not come, and the present becomes the past even
while we attempt to define it, and, like the flash of lightning, at
once exists and expires. ~Charles Caleb Colton

 I remember, feeling that time passed very fast during our son's last visit,  he was there for two weeks, yet I felt that somehow I did not get enough time to spend with him.

Every time  our daughter visits us, time seems to just fly off, leaving me feeling quite helpless.

However, it is only me, my husband is totally fine,  not affected by the comings and goings  of anybody for any length of time (short or long).

                                              I really miss Ram (our Son in Law) too.

Now that he is in London, I wonder, when we will see him again. My daughter is coming to spend 6 days with us and her dog Loki, before she also leaves for London to be with her husband.

I plan to spend the six days without wasting any time, so that after she leaves, I would feel as if I have spent 6 months with her. Is it possible?

We blame time for slipping away so fast, but time is always in our hands to be utilized properly.

Despite, everything, I feel I have lots and lots of time at my disposal, except for a few occasions, 

( like ones above) I feel I have all the time in this world.
The title of my blog is proof enough.

Neither does time hurry me, nor do I feel that time is rushing past me. People have always asked me how I kill time, to them I feel like telling, 

"Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them". ~Dion Boucicault

All my life I have been blessed with ample time for everything, I had time while I was young, I had time while I was a mother to two little kids, and now also I have plenty of time. I don't have any special formula to have more time than others, I just make time for everything  in my life.

When I want Time to stand still, it stands still with me, and when I want time to fly with me it flies with me, and when I want time to go at its normal pace it goes at its normal pace too with me.

Do I control time ?

The answer is no.

Well, for me Time has always been a friend, a guide, a mentor, a father all rolled into one.

He has always been there, is always there and would always be there for me.
He is my constant companion, hand in hand we have traveled together, in good times and in bad, never leaving each other's side, even for a second : our bond is strong.

                                         Here among the snow capped mountains, I could make time stand still                                               with me in Sikkim

                           Time waited as I admired my dog watch the world go by, from our terrace

                                            Time and the waves stood still with me in Spain

       I feel,  Time is  like a butterfly.... when you go after it ... it flies away,  but when you stand                                                 still... it comes to you, to stand still with you

                   
                            Time stood still (in pin drop silence) as I clicked these two cute Labs as they slept cuddled together.

The clock too stopped ticking for a while,  mesmerised by the glitter and glamour of Las Vegas

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.~ Carl Sandburg

          Time looked on indulgently, as it stood watching me go crazy in Times Square NY

Time stands still when I sit in our rock garden and meditate

                                       Time always stands still when I am with my husband.

I don't need to fight time, race with it or race against it, or outwit it, or even kill it. I feel so blessed to have time constantly with me, nurturing me, healing me, encouraging me, changing me,and inspiring me.

Thank you dear time, for I cherish every minute of our togetherness in this great and wonderful journey called Life

What is your view about Time and Clock?

" Time Stands Still "

Somehow I always, feel the time stands still for me. I never feel rushed for time.


It is such a nice feeling, to have Time by your side always. I always have time for everything, if planned properly we can do a lot of things and still have time to enjoy every little things that come by our way. If we love and respect time it would always be there for us giving us company and standing still with us. I think it is a great feeling.
Time stood still with me as I admired the most beautiful place in the world: Sikkim. It was my wish that I should see the snow capped mountains, and that wish came true during our 25th wedding anniversarry.

Time was there with me as I stood like a crazy woman, wanting my husband to take pictures of me in the famous Times Square in New York



Time came along with me to Central park in New York, and we enjoyed a cool and serene Saturday afternoon there.



We traveled together to see the world famous Niagara Falls, and Time was my guide, taking me to less visited sites there ....

Sikkim

Time was there showing me the awesomenesss of  the snow covered mountains of Sikkim at close range: Oh! it was so beautiful, words fail to describe its beauty



Time was my constant companion, when I visited Spain and Portugal

 He looked on as an indulgent father, when I childishly wanted a picture taken on a moving tram

Time too seemed to be wonder struck to see the Golden Gate Bridge still standing tall and still strong and beautiful

Time was there to see my daughter get married to a nice man, and when tears of happiness come flowing from my eyes he is there to wipe my tears, or sometimes shedding tears of joy with me, thereby giving me company.

 He marveled along with me at the most beautiful places visited by me as if he was seeing it for the first time

Time reminded me, the lines of Rumi read somewhere: not to forget that the earth delights to feel my  bare feet and the wind longs to play with my hair...

He consoled me when I really missed the people I loved the most
He was there when I was terribly sick, all the time pushing me gently to get well and strong.

I am grateful to him for my very existence in this world, finding new things to admire and capture them in my camera, for I no longer take sunrise, sunset, the wonderful clouds, the flowers, and the people surrounding me for granted. I am eternally grateful to Time for always leading me in the right direction.


Well, for me Time has always been a friend, a guide, a mentor, a father all rolled into one.
He has always been there, is always there and would always be there for me.
He is my constant companion, hand in hand we have traveled together, in good times and in bad, never leaving each other's side, even for a second : our bond is strong.

Do you have the same relationship with Time?
I would really love to know .
