||| FROM BRUCE HANNA |||

Einstein imagined
traveling faster than time
on a trolley approaching a large clock 

Say the trolley was a mile away…
several clicks of the minute hand
would occur before the trolley got there

But if the trolley moved twice as fast…
only half the amount of time would pass
and at the speed of light, no time would pass

Let’s reverse the imagery
Imagine slowing the perception of time
close to zero

For those of us fortunate
to be retired
past needing to earn a living 

There’s always enough time
to think
care – feel
Have a beer

 love life
 discover calm
open the moment to peace

Have a slow day
Take time out
of the equation of life
