Christmas time has both religious and secular meanings. Although I’m Christian, during Christmas time I also see, and am grateful for, a genuine spirit coming from the heart of many that stretches across humanity. One this day, I give everyone Christmas in My Heart, a song written by a recent visitor to these page – Composer in the Garden (Lynn). Enjoy … and thank you Lynn.
We did it again Frank! I was ready to post this…
with captions below.Will have to scroll back & listen what you have to say…
This one is a highly profound song with multifaceted meanings and interpretations.Time, holds all the answers. After the September 11, 2001 attacks this was used as a soundtrack in many radio and television reports about the attacks.It was written & recorded by native Gaelic speaker Enya & released in 2000 as the 1st single from A Day Without Rain. This intended love song took on new meaning as a 9/11 tribute song; Enya performed it on Larry King Live on November 8, 2001. This was a special programme to commemorate the victims of the blackest day in USA history

Meesh,
We both realize that Enya’s music if wonderful in many ways. I’ve been a fan for some time. I intentionally stayed away from “Time” in music and other forms of entertainment … thus just used the dictionary to guide my way to the featured video – which BTW I hope you watched. Nonetheless, another example of us being in sync. FYI: I was on my control panel, then your comment appeared, which triggered “Post now.” 🙂 Many thanks for sharing.

Frank, many thanks for your generous post. I am very touched and grateful. Love the theme; I once wrote a 30 page research paper on the concept of time, a subject of deep interest to me. Synchronicity:-)

Lynn,
Actually the video you posted after this one is what sparked the idea – but I had the song title wrong in my head – so I went to this one. Now that I’ve done it, I think this one works better. And if you haven’t seen the other comments, readers like your song! Meanwhile, a 30-page research paper on time? Hmmmm … well, as we know, time is a subject deep in thought! Thanks for your song.

Time is a dimension, along with the 3 we know of and many we may not. Time is a line which we cannot directly move along, yet can experience movement across. Time is an ungraspable item – you cannot hold “now”, as now never technically exists, there is only what was and what will be. And “time” is an adjective to describe a certain type of Lord, also known as a resident of the now-lost world of Gallifrey (for all you Doctor Who fans out there). 😉
And no one is yet sure if time is finite, or infinite. Depends upon your stance on Big Bang theory (physics and cosmology, not the TV show) vs. expansion-contraction theories. 😯
And now time is something I’m out of. Toodles! 😀

Frank-Love the writing at the beginning of this. For what it’s worth, I wrote a tune about time called Blink of an Eye ( You can always make more money, you can never make more time). The sound is not the best but you get the idea!

Well, not really original writing. After coming up with a few notes, the idea came to mind to “Check the dictionary” … thus why I stuck to definitions, and not philosophical. But hey – the readers have added great stuff!

I agree about the many great comments here on this one – and a good addition by you as well. I recently heard someone say this about time. When we are young, time seems slow because we focus on anticipation … but as adults, the focus shifts to getting things done and moving on to the next. Thanks for stopping by and I hope all is well.

Wonderful. One of the foundational books that changed my life and set me on a course to appreciate time is Robert Grudin’s “Time and the Art of Living”. In it he wrote:
“A few seconds are long enough for a revolutionary idea, a startling communication, a baby’s conception, a wounding insult, or a sudden death. Depending on how we think of them our lives can be infinitely long or ultimately short”.
Have a Merry Christmas, Frank and infinitely long joy.
