Time Flies

 I have recently switched to a 5 day work week, and am noticing how time goes very quickly when there is a flow of different things to do. I believe that although this can seem tiring, it's the kind of life that I like to have. I do believe that there are both times of activity and inactivity, and both offer equally valid points for reflection.
   A life of being in the flow is a life of community and reflection. I have been thinking recently of how much of a gift it is to be able to work, and how work itself is part of being in a cosmic flow with other beings. What would the world and life be like if there were no opportunities for a person to be needed in that flow of things? I do believe that there is definitely a sacredness to work life that taps into the universal flow of life, and I can't help but want to participate in that flow. Being challenged and facing new projects is not a "punishment" from God as some would suggest, but on the contrary is what allows people to reflect deeply on themselves and their dynamics. It also teaches people valuable lessons in humility (knowing that we can never do anything alone, and cannot take credit for it either); seeking help when needed; learning from others; the value of thinking as a conscious effort; and intentional curiosity, among other qualities.  Work is such a beautiful gift-and I believe that the best society is one that allows everyone to work.
   I think that when time is flying, it means that things are going well. It entails that one is no longer living by the clock anymore, but has gone beyond it in some ways. I hope that all people are blessed to have times in their lives where time itself seems to stop altogether.
