Oh I really loved this Bertus, "Clocks do not tell the time. Real time is local. The actual hands of time are your hands." What a wondrous poetic contemplation on time. Oh birthdays will do it to ya! And the last picture is incredible, the hands of time....
I really love this, Bertus! So beautiful! I have come to fall deeply in love with Time in recent days. And oh my gosh, your artwork here is amazing! Thank you for sharing it!
“No succession of events, time is the event.” And this! “Real time is local. The actual hands of time are your hands. The keepers of real time are led by ears and other senses. The body listens. You can pick up the beat and hit the sweet spot with the hands of time. The pocket between lead and follow. Between call and response. Between left and right, you make the pattern happen. In real time.” I will always look at/feel my hands differently now. Their pace so very different than the ordered pace of society. Thank you for reminding me to listen to them and allow my life to unfold from this cellular time.
Powerful writing, Bertus! It reminds me of Fernando Pessoa “My soul is a hidden orchestra...", and of Jorge Luis Borges "I do not know which of us has written this page..." or of Lewis Carroll, "sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast," no wait...
Loved this Bertus!

This might inspire me to write a poem about the hands of time.
Well, I hope it will...
It already has. Details soon.
“For too long, I believed what I was told about time.” Me too, Bertus. I love this reflection!
