June 19, 2023 I don\u2019t remember my mother warning us about the speed of life. One minute it\u2019s 1993. The next it\u2019s 2023. As a daily writer I fall witness to the speed of life by the number of pages untouched in this journal. It usually takes me two months to fill a journal. The twist in the understanding is the amazing amount of speed required to read a week\u2019s worth of thoughts. A nine hour workday feels like a lifetime. A good night\u2019s sleep is the blink of an eye. It confuses our concept of time. We don\u2019t respect its presence. Mindfulness put us in the right here and right now. Understanding that time is always going to race. But being right here right now puts us in control of what is right now.
