Thankyou kindly Jack. I feel....

elucidated!

Watching the sunset, sorry but I'm going back to clouds. They were the heavy massive kind, where it was like a massive, downy blanket settled over the air. You ever see clouds where it's like they're sitting on some invisible barrier, as if there's a layer of glass they're pressing their noses up against? And thick, catching the colours of the sunset in these lovely creamy shades. Those kind of clouds are one of the few things that allow me to see the earth as a planet, not just the flat plane of vision you get from a horizon line. They give the air depth, and you get a better feeling of distance I think.

Then there was a couple of differently coloured ones infront of the massive blanket type ones. And I swear it looked just like a little girl chasing a dog. Five minutes all I saw was a huge carnivorous fish with angry eyebrows and sharp teeth.

Woah.

Anywho, as per the title, Dr Who has given me the urge to ruminate upon the subject. Although I will likely make no sense, here is what it is to me.

Well, the first thing that comes to mind is how it is subjective. How when you are enjoying yourself, it flies by, when you are bored to tears it trickles by infuriatingly slowly. Not in actuality, but in your perspective of it, yeah?

Then there's its chain of events, reactive type qualities. Cause and effect, chain reactions, etc etc. How one tiny, insignificant event can/will/does affect everything succeeding it, how your every action shapes and molds your future, one decision instantaneously eliminating thousands of possibilities yet concurrently creating a million more, on everything from a meal you might eat, to an outfit you might wear, to your job, your perspective on life, the person you become,the shape of your very soul. Dwelling on this aspect of time can be destructive however, the looking back. If you're not happy with how things turn out. The terrible What Ifs that can lead to a spiralling, corrosive chain of regret.

Hm what else?

Once lost it can never be taken back.

So don't waste a second.
