Time reminds us that life is shaped by the choices we make. It asks us to consider how we want to inhabit our brief stay on Earth. Beyond the boundaries of the universe, time may not exist. Here, we move between two realms: the inner time of felt experience and the outer time of clocks and calendars.
When time feels heavy or tight, it is a sign that we have drifted from our center. Time itself is never the problem. It is our divided longings, our unexamined fears, that cast time in a harsh light.
To make peace with time, we need to soften the mind and allow ourselves to arrive fully in the present, as in meditation. When time turns into a playground, a space where we can meet our desires attachments and insecurities with curiosity, life becomes more luminous.
From this wider view, aging becomes an adventure, choice becomes an adventure, and life is no longer measured by achievement. We came on Earth to heal. Performance is not the destination but the process that reveals who we are and what needs to heal within us.
As the new year unfolds before you, what will you choose to create, explore, or become within this vast field of time?
