Time, Timing, Timeless

If, like Jim Croce, I could save time in a bottle, I would save some of the days I have experienced this summer.  Maybe it is just timing.  I find myself in a new life where both my children drive, I am a teacher and I was not heading into an office every day, and I am experiencing a mindfulness I have not before. During this gift of time I have witnessed timeless events, like bees collecting pollen for flowers.  It is not just that though, I have stood there, observing them collect the pollen, moving from flower to flower, until their leg sacks are so full their flying capability is somewhat altered.  I have watched them bee line (no pun intended) from flower to flower and then flying back to their hive along the most circuitous path, dipping and diving under the weight they now bear. Time, timing, timeless.

Time in a Bottle
~Jim Croce
If I could save time in a bottle  
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away  
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true  
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time  
To do the things you want to do once you find them  
I've looked around enough to know  
That you're the one I want to go through time with
If I had a box just for wishes  
And dreams that had never come true  
The box would be empty except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time  
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know  
That you're the one I want to go through time with.
