Has Any Species Ever Beat Time?

It’s Sunday Again.

I’m having a feeling about it.  I love love love me self Sundays:) 

I want to explore all the ways people make Sunday their favorite day. Isn’t Sunday (for people in my part of the world) supposed to be our favorite day? What happens for you on the first day of the week? 

Does our human biology know that “weeks” exist?  Do our bodies need a recharge each week just like they do each night?  I am not an anthropologist, or doctor or whatever MD, PHD it takes to be qualified to know this shit. I would also rather hear from the crowd than Ai: Are 7 day weeks a discovery like physics or are they man-made? Are they made for or from our biology, or for another other purpose to keep Time (we will take about her later).

Let me tell you about my Sunday so far, and maybe it will get you thinking.  I walked on a trail to some stairs where I got to watch my dad carry a log to the top like he was back on Everest.  It is called the Rise and it’s just outside of Bentonville.  Great place for Sunday.  Cafe on the walking trails was packed and felt like Japan when you are on a hike in the wooded hills and come across a tea house.   Come to think of it, The last time I was hiking around with my dad in similar woods 10 months ago in Japan. He’s been climbing stuff non stop since I was a kid. Time is coming for him, but he keeps laughing at her.

Next, I parted ways with my parents and brother’s family, because they have mandatory inside time for their worship.  I wanted to try a longitude and latitude on the map of places to worship that strived to create beauty in the choice of architecture…and has a few more windows.  I found this chapel 12 minutes away from my brothers house:

Yep, the Elves made it, obviously. No ai needed…it’s a real place.

There was a wedding happening at this chapel 40 minutes after I arrived.  Somehow I came to this building and there was zero people in the building for several minutes.  Why did I get this alone time in IRL Rivendell?  Why are there windowless buildings of worship with lots of people in them, but no one in this building with me…and did I mention it is free to enter and free to park?

I feel alone in the perfection of our celestial existence.  Nothing around me was unfit for all of the Earth’s glory.  I was IN HEAVEN! I wanted my mom to be there with me so bad.  I wanted all my family to be there and feel the peace.. No words need to be spoken.  You just feel the Sun’s light touch your skin through windows, but these windows deserve a name more reverent, they are not like other windows.  I mean, so many windows I feel like the architect had only one ingredient to use, and it was windows…with a little wood.

It is now 2 hours later and I am still pondering on this.  Is it even something I should ponder on? Is it a waste of time to think about?  What does that last phrase even mean, “waste of Time”?  Can a human waste Time?  Like, do we even own Time to be able to throw it away?  I feel like time owns me, and I am a happy servant of Time.

ME: “Time, what should do next?”.  

Time: Close your mouth, my love, and finish writing to all of your friends on the hyperweb made of light.  They need you to tell them what time it is, like you do each day. 

ME: “What time is it exactly?

Time: “This was Bell Towers primary job for many thousands of years. Do you think can do the work of Bell Towers?

ME: YES, I can do this, I feel like I have been doing it for, like, 100 days or more.

Time: “Keep going, tell them what Time it is.  Sometimes it is 4:20, but for many it is 5:20 and others it is 4:20am.  And you know what is silly? I went and made it 4:50 and 3:50 in some places, just to help people learn more math when traveling.

ME: What, where did you do that? 

Time: Well you know the Mfers in Myanmar?  Afghanistan? Nepal? They must deal with the whole world being 30 minutes behind or in front of them.  

Me: Time, I know I am just merely your servant, but some of the shit you do seems hella funny and just messed up!

Time: But really, Fuck Myanmar.  They can’t get their shit together. I’ve been watching them kill each other way before I get to them. You should tell them to knock it off. Tell them to grow up and start challenging me instead of each other.  All of you, you all just pick on each other, why not take all that survival instinct and pick on me for once!

Me: Time, seriously, you don’t understand that there are people there that are trying real hard. I’ve met several humans from Myanmar and it’s just been rough, they want peace like the rest of us.

Time:  You think what I say is going to get me cancelled or something?  You can’t cancel time.  I can say whatever the fuck I want, about whoever I want.  race, religion, politics, gender…You think I give one single fuck about any of your shit, your pronouns, your dumb fucking wars. I am TIME.

Me: Damn Time, every time I think about trying to escape my servitude to you, you pull some shit like this and I realize I can never escape you.  There is nothing I can do, you will be there to meet me when ever I try to hide from you.  This is why I have chosen to fall madly in love with you.  Time, if I can’t escape you, will you at least succumb to this frail human bag of bones?

Time:  HAHAH, Scott, you are going to die.  And I am going to kill you. I don’t actually want you to die, but your exposure to me is too much for your blood and bones to handle.  I will love you madly and will kiss your body all over, but it will cost you your life.

Me:  Listen, you might have a point, but people want to stop you, I want to stop you.  I believe one day I will even be able to stop you, and if isn’t me, then my 3 girls will figure it out.  I love you so much I can’t think of anything I would rather do than stop you…Stop you from killing all my friends.  What if I just get a chance to slow you down a bit, maybe I can stay a while longer with you.

Your faithful servant and lover,

Scott Paul
