Twenty Four Hours
We live in a busy world. Everyone rushes and is in a hurry to get somewhere or get something accomplished. Many times we find that we are running late. The interesting thing about it is ... it's all an illusion. Time is a construct. It isn't real. We made it. We gave life to it.
The fact is, there is a daily cycle which has been assigned to be 24 hours. The universe doesn't care what we call it, it sees only a daily cycle, weekly, monthly, and finally an annual cycle. Then starts the process over again. There are no hours, days, weeks, months, and years as we see them ... according to time. Instead, they are universal cycles. In place for billions of years. But to the Universe, it is a succession of daily cycles.
The sun rises, then we reach a zenith or peak at noon, then the sun begins its descent into evening, then sets into nightfall, and the cycle begins anew the next morning. But we rush and rush. Trying to race the clock when the Truth is ... we can't. It's futile. Whether we rush, or go slow, the daily cycle is unaffected. We get 24 hours only. Every day. No matter how fast we go or slow we go ... it is still the same for everyone everywhere.
When we rush, we lose the moment. And the moment is where life exists. Life is a series of moments. And when we spend time looking back or forward, we lose the moment of now ... where life exists. Each breath we take is inspiration and expiration. This is the source of our energy ... the food that keeps us alive. And it can only be had in the present moment.
Slow down. Find the natural pace of the universe. Align with the Circadian Rhythms, our natural "clock." Flowers are in no hurry to bloom, and they certainly do not compete for who blooms first, and they don't judge when one of the blooms late. There is no early or late, there is only when nature is ready. The entire whole of the universe is energy, frequency, and vibration. If the band is out of tune, the music sounds horrible.
Tune your human instrument to the natural default, and you will be more at peace, and you will experience greater health in mind, body, and Spirit. I will leave you with the lyrics from a song that Alabama recorded many years ago:
"I'm i a hurry to get things done, oh I ...
rush and rush until life's no fun.
All I really gotta do is live and die,
I'm in a hurry and don't know why."
Just a thought ...
