Can Time Skip a Beat?

The most familiar kind
of time is easy to fill with work – a routine kind of time that doesn’t ask
questions.  But what about the other
kind of time that lets the spirit shine through (whatever that is), so
essential, and so elusive?

How can we find that
moment between the seconds, a moment beyond the so-many-somethings demanding to
be done? Those somethings can be so good at telling us they’re more important
than a beckoning sunset or warm evening breeze. But today, twilight has
triumphed. Something must wait for nothing, because nothing is more wondrous
than the whispering touch of that twilight breeze, just as the stars appear.
