Time is in our hands, literally and metaphorically.
.
Been having convos w people close to me about how they perceive their time, how do they feel time, what can be done with time. Time has been made to feel like w commodity when in fact its a gift. So many things are trying to rob of us our time and force us into complacency, destroy the need to weave the stands of time with one another.
.
Been making specific claims to myself about the difference in the phrase “spend time” as opposed to “make time”. To spend time seems capitalistic and finite, it makes me feel at the mercy of powers beyond me. To make time feels more positive, empowering, that I control the flow of my own time, that I have the power to produce more time, that I can share my time.
We are masters of time, cut out distractions, focus on what is real to oneself, time becomes abundant.
.
My memories have become so clouded and foggy and its because things seems to happen so quickly that I don’t have time to absorb information. I been choosing to slow the flow of time and inhale all the details. In my heart and lungs, I feel my clock ticking slowly and surely. I’ve been able to recall my past, keep up with the present, working on being able to foresee the future.
.
A family member has been diagnosed with covid. Their time may be up. I’m choosing to be there for my family at this moment in time because I had spent my time away. I am sad, I remembered how I spent time with them during my childhood in New York, how living with them in Virginia allowed me to connect with other members of my family I didn’t know I had, how they fed me and my sibling when we were young, they all introduced nature to us and other parts of the world. It was a time full of love.
.
In the days that come I’m choosing to spend time with the people and goals that matter. I want to help people find their power and light so that we can all spend time together under the warmth of the sun, feeling the kiss of the wind, the cool of the moon. The time I have will be spent with love.

🪞 Reflection:
Growth and decay are aspects of matter affected by Time. In Human terms these words become life and death are aspects of Being affected by Time.

Humans are Being, they gather, they make, they create, they learn, they are affected by Time.

During the short lived era that felt like an eternity of self reflection I was processing several life events and how I reacted during that time. Without casting blame I considered the other actors in my life who reacted along with me. A lot of Time was allocated to revisiting….

The person who passed away was one of my aunts from El Salvador. There was a moment in my childhood in which I spent time with her and the East Coast family. I had a hard time adapting to the changes, I would say I was very resistant, but I remember happy memories that were spent as a community before my direct family decided to move back to the West Coast.

When my aunt passed away my family decided to put aside differences and mourn this woman. She had done so much for her community in the East Coast, I saw photos of her good will on Earth online. The next dilemma we had to deal with was what to do with her body. We didn’t know what could be done considering that all over the world people were dying from Covid. Some barriers we had to face were International Bio-hazard restrictions and financial limitations. But the task to return her to El Salvador to be buried home was split in two.

Some of us spread the word of her death so that we can gather the funds for the endeavor and others worked with the Health and Legal Officials from the US and El Salvador.

I was at a point in my life in which I was frustrated by the dream state I had been in, I felt like an animal waking up from hibernation. I was cold, hungry, angry, sad. I decided that a larger portion of my Time would be allocated to the Family endeavor., biological or not
