Time speeds on

Talking today to a number of people met along the walk to the allotment there is a common theme running through people's minds. They talk not of recession, of lower income and loss of employment – no…they talk of  time. Time, they all believe, is moving too quickly - so much so that some feel they have been in a state of sleep as they suddenly realise that we are into August, yet it feels as if it should be April or May. So what is happening? Are the Mayan calendar predictions of the end of the material world coming true with predictions of time speeding up, commercial institutes collapsing, and dictators toppled from power and the down trodden getting a voice. Yes the Mayans could not see that some of this has happened due to modern technology such as mobile 'phones and the internet yet they saw a shift of time, power and influence.

    Or could it be that we live at such a busy non-stop forward thrust towards death that we have forgotten the gift of life we have been given to try and enjoy, be at peace and content with our lot. Consumerism has its part in the rush to spend, spend, spend, waste, waste, waste. Just a thought - what do you readers out there think - is time rushing by faster and faster or are we just creating our own super speed towards the end of time?
