Although I like the idea of being a spur-of-the-moment, spontaneous, life grabber, the fact is I like to know what's happening and plan it into my sometimes chaotic existence. This has not always been the case, but I think the fact that much of my time seems to be absorbed into the requirements of our family, makes me vigilant against any intrusive additions to our already hectic lives.
Headspace (capacity to think, consider, reason, choose) seems more limited these days and I know I am not alone in feeling that way. Even my kids complain that time moves too quickly, the years seemingly tripping over each other in their haste to pass. And yet...
Time spent out in the middle of nowhere, with no phone, computer, music player, watch, seems to settle itself back to a reasonable pace. Perhaps time itself is frazzled with the frenetic pace of modern life? Maybe if we could all take time away somewhere without distractions, it might get right back to its old lazy pace so well-remembered from childhood.
