‘the time keeper’

Consider the word "time.“

We use so many phrases with it. Pass time. Waste

time. Kill time. Lose time. In good time. About time. Take

your time. Save time. A long time. Right on time. Out of

time. Mind the time. Be on time.

Spare time. Keep time. Stall for time.

There are as many expressions with "time" as there

are minutes in a day. But once, there was no word for it at

all. Because no one was counting.

Then Dor began.

And everything changed.

#thetimekeeper

"Soon man will count all his days, and then smaller

segments of the day, and then smaller still - until the

counting consumes him, and the wonder

of the world he has been given is lost."

#thetimekeeper

He said, "Hey, what's up?"

She clutched that sentence like a souvenir. Hey, what's up?

His first words to her.

#thetimekeeper

They shared coffee in the mornings and the

occasional restaurant at night, but as the years

passed and their wealth stacked like chips

around them - multiple homes, private jets - their life

together felt more like a duty. The wife played the

role, the husband did the same.

#thetimekeeper

As mankind grew obsessed with its hours, the sorrow

of lost time became a permanent hole in the human

heart. People fretted over missed chances, over

inefficient days; they worried constantly about how

long they would live, because counting life's

moments had led, inevitably, to counting them down.

#thetimekeeper

He was doing what man does when left with nothing.

He was telling himself his own life story.

#thetimekeeper

Sometimes, when you are not getting the love you

want, giving makes you think you will.

#thetimekeeper

But a man who can take anything will find most things

unsatisfying. And a man without memories is just a

shell.

#thetimekeeper

A heart weighs more when it splits in two; it crashes in

the chest like a broken plane.

#thetimekeeper

Either he was right, and his story had a yet untold

ending, or he was wrong and his story was over.

#thetimekeeper

"There is a reason God limits our days."

"Why?"

"To make each one precious."

#thetimekeeper

There was always a quest for more minutes, more

hours, faster progress to accomplish more in each day.

The simple joy of living between sunrises was gone.

#thetimekeeper

When you are measuring life, you are not living it.

#thetimekeeper

Until next one
