YOUNG IGNORANTES:
TIME

TIME is a funny thing. We never really think about it, not philosophically anyway. All we can think about is how there doesn’t seem to be enough of it when you want more or how there seems to be too much of it when you want less. When was the last time you though about where it came from?Someone figured out the math behind the earth rotating the sun and how many days are in a year, hours in a day, minutes in an hour, seconds in a minute, etc. etc. etc. Different civilizations had different ways to measure time, some seemingly more forgiving than the way we do it in modernity. Up with the sun, down with the darkness. It’s hot season, cold season, rainy season, dry season. You don’t age with the minutes or the hours, you age with the earth. The only sign of the process showing on your skin.We spend our time working to earn enough money to make our free time more worthwhile. Some of us work to the point where there is no free time, whether out of necessity or greed or inclination. Time is steady and concrete, but it’s meaning is vast and wavering. None of us value time in the same way. The marathon runner does not see time in the same light as the stage 4 cancer patient.Our time on this earth is short, our lives in light of the universe are nothing and probably mean nothing, but our time is ours to value and to use as we wish. But there’s no way to know that for sure. Thank you for taking the time to look at our little work of passion and love. It’s our greatest honor to take the time to make this and to create a community of people who we love to spend our time with and who we love to spend out time engaging with their creativity. Thank your for your time.
