At least I'm faster now at knowing when I'm in a Hallmark moment, and I squeeze it like there's no tomorrow. Sometimes I really do want to just put time in a bottle.

The most important thing for me now is to do that no more. I cannot go back in time and bring loved ones back, or moments back. I need to let those go but remember the lesson, do not let moments go now and I am doing my hardest to not let those go. I am grateful I am hearing the words in my daily life right now. xox Wilma Oh yeah, passing of time speaks to me too. The most important thing for me now is to do that no more.

We all often get so busy with our daily lives that we forget to pause and get present to all the natural beauty around us such as in nature and we literally miss the sunsets. I lost my father just over 2 years ago and his memories are as vivid as ever, and the pain no less lighter. Though I cherish the memories, many a time I wish I had spent more time with him and got to know him better. Since then, I endeavour to spend more time with loved ones an dmake quality time each day for the things that are important to me. Thanks Belinda for a timely and poignant reminder about what's really important in our lives - your husband and son are lucky to have you:-) Love, Arvind Firstly, what a stunning image!

I do forget the important things that really matters whenever I am busy. But am learning to be more aware of it. I would like to complement PC's lyrics. He is a genius in his craft. I've recently visited his site (maybe two weeks ago) and enjoyed watching his video. I agree! I do forget the important things that really matters whenever I am busy.

Not that I don't think about that all the time. I literally do. Ever since my teens, I've felt like an old soul, always painfully aware that all things pass and that I will too. There's something strange, almost abstract, about the passing of time. You can't hold a moment in your hand, and for that reason I often feel a little restless... a little unsettled. However, it doesn't make me want to get busy for the sake of being busy - big deal. No, I'd rather find meaning in those fleeting moments, and have meaning outlast them somehow. "Can't be done," I guess some would say, but there you have it. Funnily enough, the words to The Passing of Time remind me of the words to another song called Autumn by Century Sleeper. I don't really know why... You stand before me in my mind But you are lost to me this time You walk before me in my dreams But you are never as you seem As you move, so I see Your reflection On the water Beauty, Frailty Come now to me.

You stand before me in my mind
But you are lost to me this time
You walk before me in my dreams
But you are never as you seem

As you move, so I see
Your reflection
On the water
Beauty, Frailty
Come now to me.

Wow that is a powerful song. My mom is nearly 90 and not in good health. I saw her this week while visiting MI and the words soooo speak to me and I'm blessed to have visited her twice! Moments in time...the loving ones are what matters the most. Now I’m wiping tears. Wow that is a powerful song. My mom is nearly 90 and not in good health.

But I bet you will next time! And that's life - learning to forgive yourself and let it go, not to regret what's in the past... but to learn from it so you act differently next time. We can't always be "on." There are some days we will inevitably have trouble focusing, enjoying the moment, relaxing. But my goal is just to minimize these distracted, busy days. If I can live "in the moment" the majority of days, that's a win. No, you didn’t join in the boys fun this time. But I bet you will next time!

I have to remind myself constantly about the present. The fragility of time haunts me sometimes because your surrounding dynamics can change in an instant. From happy to sad to back again. I think we all play hide and seek with time without really knowing why. Time is one of my obsessions. I have to remind myself constantly about the present.
