Today is the beginning of Daylight Savings Time. Or is it the end of Daylight Savings Time? I’m never sure but it’s inconsequential. It’s time to turn the clocks back an hour. I never turn them back till I wake up the next morning. That hour is a gift from Chronos; one must relive that hour with vigor. Just savor the thought of that hour, wait until the opportune time, and walaa, turn em back and enjoy! I can do anything in that hour because it doesn’t really exist. It’s already passed.
It’s much different than the spring where you turn the clocks ahead. You’re frantic; you’ve lost a whole hour and you’ll never get it back! Turning them back in the fall doesn’t make up for it. It’s too disconnected. It’s been too long. It would suck to think of today’s extra hour as just a quid pro quo for spring’s loss. Deal with the loss in the spring and celebrate the gift we’re given today!
What will YOU do with your one wild and precious hour?
fiorghra - a place for my ramblings about pottery, kayaking, poetry, and life in general, for me to look back on when I'm old and feeble.
