I think part of the problem is that, even when I know that it is, I'm not often conscious of the fact that time is actually passing. This has gone on for what we commonly know as years. . .
odd. at this point, i tend to think of things almost excuslively in terms of time. i can be riding my bike and if i see a cyclist in front of me, i think of him being ahead of me in time, because once more of it has elapsed, i'll be where he is.
i also look at The House the same way. when i think about what helen and i did there on sunday, i don't see an image in my head of us working on it so much as a see a time lapsed sequence of the kitchen getting steadily cleaner. as such, i can see the sequence continuing into the future, because i don't know how we're going to finish cleaning the house, but i can see the end product in my head.
But you're so good about the rabbit!! Is it all time? Months? Hours? Minutes? Years?
When the sun goes down and you're not home, I notice it. But that wasn't the case when the sun was down when I got home. That's a kind of weird thing that's been happening to me, timewise, lately. That and the fact that I seem to wake up earlier and earlier, and even when i'm not fully awake i'm dialed into the birds singing outside the window, telling me it's time to wake up.
Oh, there was a bit on Diane Rehm today on birds singing. I didn't catch it, but I want to see if it reruns tonight, and if not, find the archive.
