Balancing Time and Money used to be the recurring theme in my Mumbai years. Earning Money took up too much Time. I wanted to read and travel and feel free. Now I have tilted the equation: I am time rich and money poor and happier no doubt. Life is vertically deeper and denser. Time flows gently... I was reminded of my time constraints when i saw this video today..

My friend Nandini saw a film In Time where the currency is Time not Money- what a brilliant premise. So one earns Time for services rendered. Wow I would like to work in place where I am paid in Time...
If fear of death drives our lives then how come we sacrifice time the way we do. Would we not feel compelled to live more deeply to fight off death? If one sits for some time in meditation or just connects with our inner being- there is no age there.... somewhere inside we are timeless. Being in touch with that eternity inside can take away this twisted relationship with runaway Time.
This must be what makes Mayflies dance all day long knowing its all they are given! Are we not dancing cause we have too many days given?

Thanks Buoyant...enjoyed the video...and how true, in order to be creative we have to let our minds wander and we need some time for that..my humble opinion.
ReplyDelete.."somewhere inside we are timeless"...very thought provoking, Buoyant.
Even though the timeless is within us we still see ourselves as mere mortals...maybe we should identify ourselves with the timeless one within.
Although I have always told my children that the most precious thing we have on earth is time and life's experiences have also dictated that. Being time rich is beautiful.
