Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️
time’s a vagabond that
travels along byways
across life's big pond
its ticker's a bicker--
a nagging that's thicker
than freckles on a face
its tocking reminds you
of armless, moustached pirates
that haven't got a clue

This one gives the mind space to wander. Like time itself it is in no hurry yet will not delay. A fun and most puzzling read.
Hope the puzzlement was not a put off! 🙏🏻🕊️
Do you prefer the ticking or the tocking of a clock?! lol.
Now that is what was running through my mind the whole time! 🙏🏻🕊️
Armless pirates! How are they going to dig for treasure for crying out loud?!
Just imagine the challenge! 🙏🏻🕊
Time is ultimately a human construct. The earth turns without any recognition of it. The stars we see today could have imploded 500 light years ago. Even as I write this I cannot write "outside of time" because it is so embedded in language; yet, what is it really? Is this moment disconnected from every previous moment and from every moment to come? Or do we make a measurement of time to keep ourselves from coming completely unraveled in uncertainty? I believe the latter. We invent time to keep an order of things...because we need that order to survive. Or, it is possible that time is truly real in this plane of existence and if that is the case, the question becomes, what lies beyond time? Either way, the stuff that will keep one up pondering at night. And for that, this gets a fave. Well done, my friend. ⏱️🖤🐦⬛
The embeddedness of time: how utterly frustrating! Like the mathematical definition of a line but applied to moments.beyond time is perhaps the 90% of our brain capacity that we still have to comfortably tap… even eternity perhaps. Ponder, ponder…. 🙏🏻🕊
Ponder indeed. I very much appreciate your philosophical mind and soul, my friend! 🖤🐦⬛
Time for me is ticking on this one as I ponder, an enjoyable and entertaining read
Thanks my friend, yes… it keeps time even as we speak🙏🏻🕊
You are very welcome, did you escape the storm?
Yes indeed, it swerved ever so slightly northward and that changed the dynamic in my area. But that doesn’t bring much relief as others had to take the brunt of its full force. We are still getting things back to normal as a community. Thanks for asking after us. 🙏🏻🕊
I saw on the news a lot of devastation, the one thing man cannot control nature, take care
Will do, thank you 🙏🏻🕊
This is an insightful view of Old Father Time. Enjoyable.
Thanks 🙏🏻 🕊
Time changes its time in so many ways arqios.
