It was intended to be an innocent father/son fishing trip right down the road - not the sort of trip you give tearful goodbyes over.
Then the hospital called at about 5 p.m. It's times like this that time moves in different directions than the clock itself.
That's why people say things like ' I remember exactly what I was doing when the World Trade Center Towers fell'. That's because time stood still while the clock went forward.
Will Smith's teenagers, Willow and Jaden, were ripped apart last year for daring to discuss ideas that reveal Standardized Testing/Common Core to be the joke they are.
See tmagazine/nytimes exclusive article by Su Wu for the entire interview. Personally, I found it refreshing to read about teens that are obviously using their minds to a higher potential. Willow challenged the idea of time, saying in essence that she views time as fluid.
While she expressed her views in a non-conventional way - when you think about it, society as a whole acknowledges those same views everyday. Whole industries are built upon the concept of building more time into your day by prioritizing goals. In effect, stretching days by hours. Has time ever stood still when you met your true love? Did summer seem it would never end as a child?
One time concept I still can't bend my mind around is presented by God Himself in the Bible. He says, 'I always have been and always will be.' I can totally get the 'always will be' because I believe in Heaven. But always was? We experience life on earth as finite beings that are created by God. So we have a beginning and ending until we go on to Heaven. As such our time here is precious. Every single second.
Here is where time almost stopped for us Saturday:
What is even scarier than the pictures - to find out two days later that on the other side of the tree that stopped our car - was a 35-foot sheer cliff that would have meant certain death.
