time and opposites

Time is just a measure of particles in motion. To everyone it means something else. One minute to someone is an hour for someone else. When we are doing what we love or with who we love time seems to move fast when in trouble or doing what we do not like it seems to go on for ages. Why is that?......
Time is a perception..a mere contruct to keep order and control.

If we let go of the control...say for one moment, time didn't exist in our minds... how much would we achieve, would we achieve more or less! or the same!....

How we have fit our duties, time lines, appointments, deadlines in our life dictates our reliance on time. It is life for us, if we lose it we lose life. If we master time, we mastered life and everything works well. But for a moment, if we stopped that, society, systems, protocols would be alterclocks moving fast...

Melting Time is inspired by this idea :

What about opposites!Do they really exist? eg. good or bad, hot or cold, light and dark!
The good and bad and in between isn't it just a scale, different phases of the same state eg. good to someone is bad for someone else. Isn't cold just the absence of hot not the opposite of it, or isn't dark just the absence of light not the opposite of it.
 When we reflect on something, have not we brought the past into the present, so what does the present, past future mean? Time is merely an illusion and a concept in our minds to create control in life, yet it controls us in a way because we cannot stop it completely.

When we say time is over for someone..we usually mean in this life. But if time is an illusion then that persons soul can live on in another life. When people say they had a near death experience and went to another realm and came back, what do they really mean? Many near death survivors have reported that they saw white or colored light. Has their body and soul departed from this life and entered another temporarily and then returned.

Perhaps we know little about time and opposites than we think we know. It is definitely an interesting idea and has had me thinking ......

If anyone has any thoughts on this, please feel free to share!

Goodbye 2023....

And Hello 2024 ! .....  As the new year begins, it whispers of letting go of what has been and looking towards the future. Every one of us starts the new year with contemplation of everything we want to achieve, goals and inspiration for the new year and as we do that we need to remind ourselves to be easy on ourselves and experience every day as it comes, be in the present and avoid over thinking, remembering always that every single drop makes the ocean.  Today, the first day of the new year started for me with optimism, hopes and wishes for an even better year than last. As the first night of the year draws near I'm reminded of all the possibilities that await as I turn the first page of a new chapter today.  While reflecting on the last one year and looking towards the next, I'm also reminded of my countless blessings and the many things I should be thankful and grateful for. As I cherish deeper what I have a part of my soul bleeds for the many who are facing suffering, str

Place to Call Home...

 During uncertainty trial tribulations and chaos the best place to call home is where we find peace and glimmers of hope/ rays of light ! Wherever that may be ...with family, pursuing passion, hobbies, travel ,nature, seeing a sunrise .and sometimes it is in simplicity of comradeship and companionship.  Sunrise is born from this idea.                                                        Sunrise - oil on canvas - March 2021
