Time. What does it mean to you? The passing of one minute to the next. One day. A year. A century. A millennium? Is is even possible to think about that? Or do you think of time as being in the workplace. At school. Monday to Friday. 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Weekends. Holidays. Time off – the weekend. When I was teaching my life seemed to be split into term-times. Breaks when I could have a life. If I wasn’t ill, or had a hundred reports to write or coursework to mark. No, let’s not dwell on that time.
Is time a constraint? Or freedom? Do you take the time to stand and stare? To absorb the beauty that is around you? Or do you rush through life hating to waste time.
Time to sleep. Time to dream. Time to contemplate. Time to have fun. Times of drought. Doing ‘time’. A season. An era. The beat of music. And yes, time does go faster as you grow older.
Can time be timeless? Are you having a good time, the time of your life?
TRAVEL WORDS 
I will give you an A+++ for this post Jude. The photos are perfect, time slipping away, all the different ways we think of time. Yes work time and retirement time are 2 totally different time zones and I know which I prefer. Now the weather has, finally, cooled down to about 28c so I am going to spend some time in the garden taming all the wild and luxurious growth.
Very Dali-esque clocks here! I like all the questions you pose about time and its various interpretations.
It is a topic you could run with in so many different ways.
I am definitely having a good time however I am aware that I fill up the time every day. My challenge is to take time to relax.
I love the melting clocks. Somewhere in our travels I’ve been in a store full of melting clocks … Prague? In hindsight, I wish I had bought one 🙂
It’s such appropriate imagery for this post though … melting time. That’s exactly how I feel most days – like time is melting away.
I’ve always been rather obsessed with time – I don’t have enough time, something is taking too much time, it’s getting late, etc …
Probably this same shop as it is in Prague!
I wondered if that was where you took the photos!! That’s cool 🙂
I love your take on the ‘Time’ challenge Jude, writing and photos. I wish I had more, as we all do, to get everything done…whatever ‘everything’ is… 😉
