IF I CAN SOMEHOW

I looked at my watch as

ly ticked on. Was I going to
“find” the time by looking
at a clock or watch? That
seemed like a waste of time.
“Wasting” time — there it
was again.
And the same thing is
true when it comes to the
idea of “saving” time — if you .
save it, where exactly do
you keep it?
We do all. sorts of things
when it comes to time.—
“making” the time, “kllh
ing” time, making it just “in
time,” running “out” of time,
taking a “time out.”
Time, it Seems, is a word
we use in the English lan-
guage to cover a wide vari-
ety of experiences, without
ever actually recognizing
what time itself is.
When we say We are going
to “find the time,” we usual-
ly mean that we will have to
stop doing something so we
can do something else.
When we say we are “sav-
ing time,” we mean we are
finding an a more efficient
way of doing something.
I When we say we are “tak-
ing our time,” we mean we
are doing: something more
slowly. I
And seconds add up to min-
utes, minuteS into hours,
and hours'into days, days
into years, and years into .
This “time” is a peculiar
thing, however. If we say
we’d like to “go back” in
time or “jump ahead” and
see the future, we know we
have left the real world and
entered the world of science
fiction. We are always in the
here and now, except when
we remember (which still
takes place in the now), or ‘
when we anticipate (which
also takes place in the now).
'No matter how much we
plan ahead or worry about
happened‘yesterday or what
might happen tomorrow, we
are still in the “now.” And by
the measures of our clocks
and watches, a second is still
always a second — it won’t
arrive any faster or slower.
Our feelings and experi-
ence always color our expe-
rience of time - we’re bored
when we have to wait for
something and there’s noth-
ing to occupy our minds;
we’re anxious when we are
afraid of what might hap
pen, and the passage of time
feels like a torture; and we
“lose track of time” when we
are occupied and absorbed I
. in something that interests
divide up their days into the
various offices of religious
observance within their
monasteries — times to pray,
work, and sleep;
Watches and “standard
time” are fairly recent his-
torical inventions and have
helped to get the entire
world synchronized in the.
past few centuries.
No matter how much
today we rush and scram-
ble to get things done, to
squeeze as much out of the
day (or the hour) as we can,
a second isstill a second, we
are always still in the here
and now, and our minds
color the sense of how time
moves along.
Some say we are now
“chained to the clock,” but.
really, we are mostly just un- '
der the delusion that we can
somehow always get more
things done in the same
amount of time.
Measuring time seems to
feed this delusion. We won’t
break the spell by taking a
harmner to our watches and
clocks, but rather by giv-
ing up the mistaken belief
that more and more always
needs to be done.
Maybe then we can “find”
the time that so cunnineg
seems to elude our search. .
