Check Your Clock Janet Kuypers 1/1/19 We spend our lives planning rituals, celebrating holidays, remembering birthdays, marking every passing year The human animal is the only animal to grasp time this way, counting anniversaries and fearing the forward march do we forget to take stock, do we wonder if we should surge ahead or create new goals as we race through life’s linear maze Check your clock. That’s what we humans do. Go ahead, look back, but don’t sit still too long, because time won’t stop to wait for you to catch up.
