It has always fascinated me how people value money over time. When the world is awash with fiat currency and if you run out of it you can always get more of it. But when you've run out of time that's it. There is no getting it back. It's the only meaningful currency we have and you are so right to identify this. How we spend our time says more about us than how we spend our money! I had no money today, well not much, but I spent a lovely afternoon sat on the Atlantic coast meditating with the sound of the crashing waves on the rocks. It was time doing nothing, producing nothing, creating nothing, saying nothing, writing nothing. Yet it was time so very well spent! 😉
A fascinating perspective, Angela. I have been working on a 'time' piece as well - a quasi-followup on my 24-hour-clock drop from months ago - but I really enjoyed where you took this essay. Much food for thought 🫡

It really does say so much. Time is the forgotten currency that is always ignored. Sounds like a lovely afternoon!

Well done! ☺️

Time, vibe, sacred, integrity — thank you 🙏
