Time

Unbelievable to think that it has been 10 years since I retired. In those 10 years, I rarely felt retired, with seven years coaching, and three long term teaching jobs, but I do now. Now, writing, gardening, and yard work take my time.

A fatalistic view, but Pink Floyd’s “Time” caught me with its quote about time and ten years ago.

“And then one day you find
ten years have got behind you,
no one told you when to run,
you missed the starting gun.

And you run, and you run to catch up with
the sun, but it’s sinking,
racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way,
but you’re older,

shorter of breath,
and one day closer
to death.”
