A Curious Resource

Time is a curious resource.
Someone I know is wishing for time to pass quickly so she can be married.
Someone is wishing for the baby to arrive on time.
Someone is wishing for the election to be over.
Someone is wishing for time to go slowly so friends can be together longer.
Someone is wishing for time to go slowly so her babies' childhoods linger.
Someone needs more time with a loved one.
Someone needs more time to study for a test.
Someone just needs more time to think about something.
We each have 24 hours.
Sometimes it drags.
Sometimes it moves too fast.
Time is a curious resource.
Sometimes I waste it.
Sometimes I spend it.
Sometimes I just try to be present in the moment.
Time flies.
Time seems to stand still.
Time is a curious resource.
