Time

(Inspired by the song 'Time' by Enya)

By Cheryl Sullivan

What is time? It is the way that we measure our lives, it is the way we see ourselves, we try and put back the clock of time by wanting to live as long as we can, to look as young as we can, for as long as we can. But where does the look of experience go if it is not notched on our faces, the character of a persons life is etched on their faces if we get rid of this what have we got left, just a shell without any life experiences to show to the world, our inner beauty. Only God knows what is ahead for us, we try and see into the future, but why, we cannot do anything about it, so we should live our lives in a loving and happy way without worrying about our outer shell.

Time is a healer they say, as time goes by it helps to soften the hurt of losing a loved one you never forget them, but time does softens the hurt and you learn to live with your personal loss. A loss of a loved one is traumatic, whether they pass into the higher life, or choose another pathway in their lives, their physical self is no longer with you, but their spiritual essence is, the times you have had together cannot be taken away from you it is part of your earthly journey, by remembering the good times you had with them not the bad, time will be no barrier to the mind, let yourself have time for contemplation sit in a quiet place you are comfortable with and let your mind drift to the memory of your loved ones, they will be with you. Send thoughts of love to them it will help.

We count time by hours and minutes, God counts time by the way we live our lives, time is relevant to the now, what has passed should stay in the past, by bringing it into the now you are not healing, not allowing it to heal but allowing the past to affect the now and the future. Just say to yourselves “ That was then, This is now. “ It will help to bring a perceptive into your life.

Time is something scientists are still trying to work out, but why, some things are best left alone, and accepted for what they are. Don’t rush around trying to get everything done in a day, there is always another day. Pace your life to your own speed, don’t try and emulate others it is not you, be yourself and live in your own definition of time, everyone has their own life experiences and they all differ from each one. Just live your life in a way that is right for you, don’t worry about the past or the future live for today in a loving and harmonies way and all will be well.

As you reflect back in time you see the wonder of life, and be able to see that God has a hand in everything you do. God loves you and wants the best for you, in time by being loving to each other all will come to you, perhaps not in a material sense but in a spiritual sense where you will reap all the good you have sown, and what you have done for others will be your reward.

Let your spirit guide you, Let your heart be full of love, Enabling you to live your life in a joyful and serene way.
