Over the last few months I have heard constantly how time is flying by and people can't believe it is September already. In 3 months Christmas will be here. I do wonder if by constantly focusing on time we forget to experience the special moments in life. Think about it. Most of us now have several devices with us constantly that remind us of our calendar and the time of the day! I reflected on this yesterday . Michael and I made the most of a beautiful spring day and spent time walking between the lookouts on the Illawarra Escarpment. We left our phones and watches behind. We marvelled at such spectacular views over our village of Austinmer. We smiled at the sign identifying an hour to walk to Austinmer. Measuring this walk by time rather than what we could see,smell, or hear . Valuing the richness of the conversation we could have with each other without distractions of the busyness of life. What a waste we only measured the walk by time! Lets start to think of qualitative measures of the life we are living rather than the quantitative measure of time.
