As communities battle to save their homes, forests, beliefs, and ecosystems; essentially resources – I wondered that we don’t really save time. Rather we waste it in a myriad of odd activities. Looking at the pictures of people we don’t know, and reading a recipe of a dish we will never cook. In the world of printed alphabets and authors, there are a number of handbooks and principles about saving time. The ten habits of highly effective people, wake up early, mind exercises, getting things done, time management, et cetera, et cetera, you know the drill.
I think of it as waste management; so much of our being produces waste in so many ways: garbage, excretion, speaking without thinking, harmful habits, and doing all the possible things which are unnecessary. Some things we simply excel at.
Time is an invaluable resource we want more of but are all given the same. Time is also extraordinary. It seduces pain, creates excitement, and in duration: longing. Time, where do you really go?

Time also allows one to enjoy a very funny comedy series or to imagine two ladybugs in preparation for battle. Circling each other, preparing for lethal, deadly combat. Antennae raised, spots ready for hurling blows.
