Time and space as we know them have such special and interesting qualities when we look at them from the perspective of human memory, will and intention.
Timing is everything.
Chronology, the sequential count of units of measurement, is only one of the many characteristics that compose the observable concept of time. While this chronological sequence may represent points along a line, that line does not necessarily present itself in a linear form.Reflections of my personal human condition are much more akin to abstract patterns that move like a honey bee tracking nectar producing flowers than a predictable geometric construction.
This month in particular I am experiencing an interesting array of "time warps."
The first was an announcement by the Belize Institute of Archaeology of the uncovery of what is possibly the second largest piece of carved jade in the Maya area at Nim Li Punit where I developed and curated the Visitor Center and Stela House exhibitions 17 years ago!
The second was a return to the summer camp classroom after a 24 month hiatus from educator duty, reminding me of how much I love to share my learnings with the young people beyond just my sons.
And finally, beginning to realize that regardless of how long it takes or how far we travel or don't, we each have the capacity to improve our skills, strengthen our families, and build our communities wherever we are because our human family is interconnected with all of life as we know it, and we are all depending on each other to be and become the very best of who we are.
