"Slow down. Desynchronize from standard time frames and surprising opportunities may present themselves."
I have a theory about time. Western culture values what I call linear time. We run on schedules, our watches, the clock, our daily organizers. The economy depends on productivity, which requires linear time.
I am trying to adapt to circular time. As a creative being, circular time allows me to think, to experience, to wonder, to lose my awareness of time "passing by". The natural cycle of a day and of the season allows me to immerse myself in the studio or the garden.
I'm a much happier person!
Unfortunately I've also forgotten to pick up my husband from work a few times.

Right On Janet!
Slow down and nurture your own ideas.
It's hard when you have so many however, isn't it?
Sounds good to me, trouble is that I kinda need that paycheque to subsidize my life and quilting.
But when I'm not on that clock I am off the clock, I quit wearing a watch years ago.
