Feeling like a marshmallow….

I’ve noticed how my experience of time seems to be changing. I wonder if something similar is happening for you. Time has always been somewhat malleable. When we’re kids, our birthdays and Christmas seem to take forever to arrive. As adults, we say, “Is it Christmas already?”

What I think many of us are experiencing right now is different. Time responds to our state of consciousness.

These days, time feels less like a clock and more like I’m a marshmallow – soft, stretching, softening, dreamy, melting around whatever I choose to focus on. I feel more like a marshmallow in hot cocoa instead of a rock in a river. I’m not fighting the current anymore - I’m bobbing along with it. I’ve softened enough to feel like I float inside of time.

I’m noticing:

· The clock matters less, even though I still know what time it is

· Days feel more spacious even though they frequently feel like they zoom past

· Some moments feel very open like when I’m painting or I’m outside with my corgi, the trees and birds

· Time feels more like texture than measurement

I think this way of experiencing time is helping me navigate the craziness of the world better. We’re living through an unusual period in earth history and there is an end to it. As a species, we’re evolving. Some people are going through this process kicking and screaming, trying to hold onto a past they feel was slanted in their favor. They fear losing what they never had.

The wise amongst us are being flexible, riding the waves of change rather than trying to dictate the movement of the ocean. I think letting time carry us along rather than trying to control it serves us well.

Creating with joy, grace and ease,
