"Time" What a terrible thing to waste!

Time is such a discreetly used word. Even though, our entire lives revolve around the idea of time. Everything in our universe has order under the concept of time. Stars are born and then they die. Black holes are believed to reverse time! Anything that has some sort of existence has to deal with it.

Upon awakening today, my immediate thoughts surrounded this blog. Why do we allow time, which is running out, to control our lives? It's such a blessing and curse, a catch 22! In reality, if not for time the whole universe would be a gigantic mess, yet with it things stay orderly. So my next question asked is not about time but perception. It's how we perceive it. Things control us once we allow them to. So this is why we are so trapped by this never-ending continuum of events. 

Then my last thought is about my girlfriend. She is so wonderful. She's loving, kind, gentle, and patient. Everything that one could ask for. And also...she cooks! Well at that! It's remarkable that you can find someone so great. And as I rejoiced at this thought in appreciation my mind fell back onto time. 

You see that is the only thing that separates my girlfriend and my grandmother from knowing each other. A few short months and I could've shown my granny what great of a woman I have found. I know people love to fantasize and say, "Well she's looking down for

Heaven smiling right now." A cute thought but I don't buy into it. 

What I understand is time has separated me and my Granny. With that, it also separated her from my life that still revolves around time. The thing that saddens me is in my mind she's still alive, for it hasn't been that long ago. But in the real world, she's as gone as the last second I spent typing this. So time goes on.
