March of Time


Wikipedia



Nothing is moving faster than the wings of this year 2024. We are almost at the tail end of the year now. Unbelievable!

 There’s a fleeting feeling all around us. Anyone can hear the sound of the passage of time in everything: the clocks ticking; mirrors speaking; seasons marching. Being fixed to a time frame and watching this fast pace of life we may wonder if we have time enough.

 Would we ever pause or slow down a bit? How to do that? Poet says, “Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time / like dew on the tip of a leaf.”

 March of Time is today’s theme. Capture Time’s gait in your lines. You might be the observer or it might be Time itself who has a fixed gaze on you and your surroundings.
