While Monday blues are a universally acknowledged phenomenon, it would seem that Einstein’s theory of relativity reigns with its stubborn constancy over this phenomenon as over countless others.Back in the office and to my left is one who has yet to complete their weekend and to my right is one who seems to have been born to do work. One has the blues and the other claims he has, just as well, conformity maybe a greater need for some than it is for others.
My current disposition neither affords me nor leaves room in my circumstances to accommodate such self indulgent, fickle emotions.
The tasks in this my Monday plate request, no, demand a generous potion of my conscious time and deliberate effort, 24 as it seems to me now is a limiting number to define a day. Yet time tumbles on or jets past on its journey to many destinations and zero stops. It proceeds with absolute, undeviating and dependable regularity. Each second by physics defined as identical yet momentously, experientially and dare I say it relatively, unique.
As far as I can tell, time has always been, it would seem as it were, eternal. Time is an ingenious way of preventing things from happening all at once. That would certainly be weird, your day of birth is the day you learn to walk, talk. It is the same day you have your first kiss and the day you die!
God, it has been said lives in eternity, outside of time. To understand eternity from the relative position of time is akin to defining reality by attempting to decipher images of an optical illusion. Using time to understand eternity is like using darkness to define light, the two are mutually exclusive in physical presence and yet dependent on each other for the sake of our comprehending them. It is impossible to understand one without the knowledge of the other.
I assert therefore that eternity is not one contiguous and continuous train of time; I contend that it is the momentous occasion of the all conquering now. Now is the only true moment that exists, it is neither here no there, it is Now. Now is eternity, there is neither past nor future in this eternity of Now. And God who dwells in the now has all knowledge of things. He knows all about now. In this sphere Albert may need to table a new law. God’s genius was to divide the moment we call now into an array of distinctive units that constitutes time. In this array he bound all his creation. We truly are time governed entities!
