Father Time

I had an interesting moment a few days ago. I realized that though I am here in China, life back home has still gone on. Sometimes I think I get caught in my own little bubble of this is my life and I forget oddly that the rest of the world goes on. One of my closest friends is engaged, something I knew was coming and i expected while I was gone, but still that moment of sucking in your breath at realizing you missed an important moment in a an important persons life. It doesn't hurt persay just smarts a bit.

Not quite regret, just a touch of sadness, and the realization I have missed many of those moments this past year, and they have missed them in my life... so today I guess we pick up the pieces and move on.

Father time will keep marching on and on,even if my watch stops ticking Father time will go on. I think at times I want something that stands still, something I can define or measure, but the truth is that time though measurable is so easily lost..
