I've been thinking about time a lot this weekend. I think when people die unexpectantly we all examine how we are spending time. I lost a friend last week and I am soul searching about why her. I also had my first born leave home this year and that has changed EVERYTHING as far as how we spend our time. I have more "free" time now than I did last year and I am choosing not to fill it up with work. (OK, I'm trying to choose that.)
The urgency that drives us, I think, is naturally slowed down by therapy. We are asked to stop and think about how we feel about things, not just move through life. At least for me, this is totally new.
I don't perceive time as slowing for me, but instead as being more in my control.
This is interesting to think about --though I do feel like I'm Babbling (ha!) a bit.
BTW -- I've only been late to therapy 2x in 10 months because I DON'T want to answer what it MEANS that I'm late nor do I want my reputation as the perfect therapy client tarnished!
