Time is Substance

As we begin the 8th month of 2025, I can’t help but think of a line in the current book I’m reading - The Night Watchman by Louise Endrich

“As animals subject to the laws of earth, we think time is experience. But time is more a substance, like air, only of course not air. It is in fact a holy element.”

I’ve thought about time a lot lately. Closing in on 50 has something to do with it, but also the fact that I’ve known five people under the age of 60 who have passed away over the last three months.

Time is life.

Stability, preservation, movement, passion, transformation are all things associated with the classic elements.

Since time is non-renewable, maybe we should spend more time on these things.

But, that will require saying no to something else because you won’t find more time.

Time is the only thing that demonstrates what you care about.

So, if you say you want to improve your health and fitness, show me.

Show yourself.

This isn’t a dress rehearsal.
