How does time go by so fast? Has it always been like this?
When I was younger, time seemed to tick by at a more appropriate pace. Summers were endless, at least until they weren't. But they still seemed long and packed with fun. And the years seemed slower.
For those reading, I would love to know: as an adult, have you found a way to live slower, to be more present, multi-task sometimes, but not always? And if so, does it result in 'longer' years?
I'm curious this year about very-adult-sounding-things like rhythms and systems that support the life I want to live. Capsule (ish) wardrobes and meal plans. Bullet journals and planners.
But so far the greatest consolation I have found against Father Time is from his Superior.
In an unexpected yet comforting verse. "And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you." Romans 8:10-11
Despite my worthy efforts to fully enjoy this year, its only temporary. Thankfully it's not the only chance I get. Eternity sounds like a much better time scale to enjoy, grow, and experience beauty with loved ones.
What are you hoping for in 2018? What about eternity?
