We
ask the wrong question of time.
How
will you use the time you have (wisely)? What will you do with it?
(This
is the question behind clocking on early, and off late; the question behind
career advice and bucket lists.)
But
time is – as we are – one of God’s creatures. And I do not want to be used
(even by someone who thinks they are acting wisely). So why would time? I am
not a utility, or a tool, and neither is time.
Better
questions to ask of time:
How
might we receive time? respond to time? cherish time? hold time lightly?
