Pondering About Changing Times

I look forward to your Sunday ponder feature all week long Michael Jacobs 

Hi Michael

That's a pretty thought-provoking post! I like Lao Tzu's quote the best, I think, although if I do some more pondering I might change my mind!

Michael, I have given up pondering about time.  It makes my head hurt.

Good evening Michael Jacobs ,

I had to stop by to check your "Pondering post" for Sunday even if it is Tuesday! Times are a-changing and my favorite quote from you fabulous selection is the one by Rumi! Hope your having a great week my friend.

Hi Michael Jacobs - I am noticing Dorie Dillard post as I get ready to write mine and on a Tuesday,  Rumi's quote also reasonates with me. Ever since I moved to Sedona many years ago, I realized I am the only one I can have total influence on!

Falling back works for me....and looking forward to what is ahead !

The older I get, the less I like change. And yet I could really use a change right now. LOL

You are just clever beyond words. Or because of your words, I'll have to ponder that one a bit. Mac is having a horrible time with the changing clock - he is begging for his dinner now, a full hour early - and wakes me up at 5AM, instead of 6AM. :) 

Oh how I ponder why it has to get so dark on the East Coast when we have to move the clocks back. It's not my favorite time of the year...

Well, you have reminded me that I need to haul a ladder into the kitchen and take my life into my hands by crawling up on the cabinets to change the time on our stinkin' kitchen clock. It's the only clock in the house my husband did not change. It's his subtle way of saying, no, you do it.

Michael, it is always good to ponder and if it is about time do not waste too much of it:))))Endre

What is it they say....The only thing that stays the same is change.

I talked to a friend realtor from AZ, they do not change times, I like it:) 

I appreciate the play on words, and also the quotes by Rumi and Warhol. If we want something to change, we have to change ourselves, or change "things" ourselves.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.

Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”

that is my favorite quote from the list!

Michael, sure easier in the Fall to change the clocks than in the Spring.  Losing an hour is tougher! 

Where would we be each day without change? We would be a stagnant society Michael Jacobs.  I do hate changing that clock back and forth though...

Michael Jacobs - I went back in time to read this post again. I love the quotes and the thougths behind each one. I love when time changes when you're in the mountain, breathing fresh air or traveling somewhere new. It would be wonderful, if postive change was just a matter of programming something within our mind, and we were capable of doing it ourselves. After an historical day and being up late last night, I am in hopes perceptions change for the better. Here's another quote that I find so meaningful:

"If one tries to think about history, it seems to me - it's like looking at a range of mountains. And the first time you see them, they look one way. But then time changes, the pattern of light shifts. Maybe you've moved slightly, your perspective has changed. The mountains are the same, but they look very different." --- Robert Harris

May you be strong, breathe well, and always have something to smile about. 

Good Morning Michael Jacobs - Change is a philosophy that works for some and not for others. I don't mind change, as long as I have some control and/or choices. We are living in a world today with so many changes. I ponder...  how much change is too much or not enough? 

When I've had enough, I dovetail into the gifts of nature. Mother nature's interpretation of outdoor entertainment and art is designed for education. We can sure learn a lot from her, can't we! 

I hope you are getting all your needs met successfully. If you put a smile on your face today, just know I'm smiling back at you and wishing you well. 

Michael, time is important in our industry, and changing the clocks is a chore I wish we could eliminate.
