Yet Time Flies : Nowhere To Rush

We believe that crossing off chores will make time behave, that keeping busy will bend it to our will. On vacation, especially when you’ve come home from abroad, there are days stretched wide before you with no pressing errands to fill them.

You sit on the same veranda chair, hands empty, and still the sun arcs from one side of the sky to the other. You taste the same strong coffee you’ve drunk since childhood and feel the weight of decades settle into your bones—yet an entire afternoon vanishes before you realize it has even begun.

The heat comes and goes without ceremony. Shadows under the mango tree slide back and forth as if marking hours on a sundial, but you pretend not to notice. You close your eyes to listen for the monsoon’s first thunderclap, only to open them and find the world a shade darker, as if the day itself has crept forward while you slept. In these quiet stretches, time breathes through every crack and corner, unstoppable and indifferent to whether you move or stay.

Being Home Blurs : Yet Time Passes

Being home blurs past and present until you can’t quite tell when memory ends and reality begins. The scent of jasmine in the evening breeze pulls you into recollections of long-ago dusk walks, and suddenly the week you thought would feel endless has already slipped into the past. You touch the rough bark of an old temple pillar, expecting to feel a moment stand still beneath your palm, but even that pillar cannot hold back the current of hours flowing around it.

Time does not wait for us, and it certainly does not follow our wishes. It carries on through unremarkable mornings and languid afternoons alike, speeding up when we least expect it. On this homecoming, the absence of plans becomes the very vessel through which days accelerate. We cannot fly, but time always does, leaving us the simple task of leaning into its passage and learning to move with its quiet momentum.
