It really is amazing how much we depend on time. And how time really does rule our lives. I do an exercise in class where I ask the students to go home and count the number of things that tell the time in their house. And then I have them break it down room by room, and I ask them which room has the most time tellers. I am always floored by the answers, and I don’t know why because my house is saturated. But then, you look around and see time everywhere. On marquees, billboards, facades, in the car. Or like this, on a tower above a grocery store. Although very beautiful, especially with the vibrant blue sky, it is still an indicator of life’s clock, just ticking away. That is the one thing I hate about going back to school, that my life now becomes dependent on the clock. Living hour by hour, bell by bell. When is summer vacation? 🙂 August 22, 2012
