Great post…got me thinking! Afraid Frank I have to beg to differ, time has meaning…nothing matters but time! Possessions loose importance as I age but we are important! We can leave an imprint on those we interact with in our daily lives. We can make a difference, it may only be a small ripple in a big pond but it is still a ripple!
We measure, from here to there.
I am here, I may be there,
when the clock strikes twelve.
But the hour hand is slow,
it seems.
I may only reach eleven,
or ten.
I am sure I’m past my prime-nine.
My minutes, like seconds,
nano-beats, do I live my life.
But fate allots what it sees fit,
I’ll take what it commits.
I am delighted in those lines of rhymes

Isaac Watts wrote similar words a while ago now:
Time, like an ever rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
But it was part of his hymn:
Oh God our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come;
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home.
The stormy blast is real – but not the whole picture – else neither you nor i would carry on writing!
Happy Christmas, Frank!
