Clock’s movements quietly advance
Calendar pages keep turning
Realizing now, time so precious
Yesterday, never returning
Today, now galloping away
Each moment quickly discarded
Vanishing minutes tearing up
Uncertain time left unguarded
Tomorrow arrives much too soon
Yesterday feeling incomplete
Searching for one more treasured hour
Empty time becomes bittersweet
Distant dreams fill with missing days
Harmony’s peacefulness arrives
Pursuing extra, precious time
Delights harvested from archives
Morning sunrise gathers on time
Eagerness to explore today
Looking forward, cherished outlook
Every moment planning to stay

I wrote this for you as a thank you for being one of the sites which is keeping me going. I shared this on fb/twitter too, to help other people who are struggling with sobriety. Hope you don’t mind your site is one of the ones that kept me going over the past couple days. I have severe PTSD, paranoid schizophrenia and a litany of other issues and am in recovery from drugs and alcohol. You are one of the ones that is going to help me make it to 90 days in 2 days.

I just made major progress with this actually, I struggle with releasing control to God. I am a recovering addict/alcoholic. I usually flip out and drink/get high in response to frustration and I just prayed about it. I am really proud of myself.

In the Bible, there are two words used for time: chronos, which is reflected in our ‘chronology’ and such, and kairos, which refers to event-filled time, like ‘the time we went to England.’ When phrases like “in the fullness of time” crop up in the Bible, the word in the Greek often is ‘kairos’ rather than ‘chronos.’ English doesn’t have a way to distinguish the two meanings so easily. Me? I want a kairometer for Christmas!

Linda, thanks so much for sharing these thoughts. Most of us could benefit from a kairometer.
