Time has always seemed elastic, but nowadays it’s pliable beyond past experience. To some of us, these days creep by in a fog of repetition; for others, they zip along, full of excitement and expectation. Looking at the few people on my street, it’s possible to imagine the world from our microcosm. One woman who was extremely social, living to dress up for parades, while participating in activities of three churches, seems depressed and lost without these events. One man fell deeper into drugs and alcohol and is now in rehabilitation, trying to save his life. Two neighbors have a thriving business, selling plants and doing landscaping. They are busier and seem happier than ever. Perhaps we’re all learning things about ourselves during these times of change, as we either acclimate to the "new normal", or try to stay with the ways of the past. Personally, I feel I’ve been practicing all my life for this seclusion. It’s nice, and when I must be active in the “outside” world, I need solitude to rejuvenate. We all have a role in the revolution of thought which we see unfolding. Much needs to be done, and we who are not afraid of change are leading the way. Exciting times, indeed!
“The objects of time and sense disappear in the illumination of spiritual understanding, and Mind measures time according to the good that is unfolded.” Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 584:4
