Time

Sometimes I come up with random ideas, right now it's time... enjoy my thoughts!

In time you see the flowers bloom and watch trees grow. If time were only to be in spurts it would be a lot more noticeable… you go through life bit by bit and can see time. You walk down the road and time is not… then suddenly you’re there at your destination. You sit in a park and watch life and suddenly the trees are bigger and the clouds have left. You walk down the street, a beautiful sunny day, and it starts to rain when time turns on. It would be like being in a dark room… walking in pitch black and then the light is turned on and you see that you’re half way there, the lights turn back off and on and now you’re at your destination… knowing that you walked that far but not seeing anything when the lights were off. If time jumped in a constant rhythm then it would be easy to have a schedule based on time. It would be known that time would jump from 8:00 to 10:00 and so people would know how to deal with time. But if time fluctuate abnormally, at random places and jumped randomly so that days might be jumped and minutes skipped… it would be impossible to tell time, to understand weather patterns, to know even what day it is and would be in the next jump. Everyone would be prepared for any weather and not be time oriented at all... living with no concept of a clock, for a clock would be a useless thing... you wouldn't be able to watch time go by on the face of the clock... looking minute by minute until your time arrived for time would jump, one minute you're waiting and the next your ready to leave.
