If you happen to glance casually at the face of an analogue clock at 9:15 in the morning and 2:45 in the afternoon, the hands are pointing at the 9 and the 3 both times. Just different hands. Same thing at 12:30 and 6:00, etc. You might be tempted to think time has stood still. You might wish it could on certain days.

But, if you look out your window at the shadow of the tree in the yard at those two times on a sunny day, you’ll see a silent witness to the rotation of the earth, the linear passing of time— approaching new events and reseeding finished ones. Time is fleeting. Use your minutes well.
