Time Warp

Time... it can do very odd things. For example when you are waiting for something, time can drag on and on. A week can act like a month or even a few moments can seem like an eternity. But then again when you look back through the years, a decade or more can seem like yesterday as you age. So how does this work you may ask. Well the mind does work in mysterious ways. It keeps our secrets and holds them hostage for us until we need them back or until it wants to let them go. By doing that, the memory feels like it is fresh because it hasn't been brought up to the surface in so long. Another good example of a time warp or stretch is when we are in pain or in an emergency situation. The time expands in our mind so that it can recall everything that happened in detail. Even if it's something that we would like to forget, it is going to be recorded somewhere in our brain or shall I say hard drive to be pulled back up at a later date not necessarily when we want it to but, when it is time to.
Being  a person who has brain tumors and has had a fairly major head injury several years ago, the wiring in my brain is all jacked up when it comes to memory. Whole years are missing and most of it is truly a blur. Sometimes people will come up to me and tell me stories of my past that I don't remember but what's really bad is that I don't have a clue who they are at all either. Luckily I do have little glimpses, bits and pieces that come through. Usually they are things that were traumatic to me a my brain was good enough to keep hold of it tightly. On rare occasions a mundane memory will come through. Maybe something like swinging on my Grandma's porch with my cousin or picking wild flowers in a meadow. Nothing special really to anyone else but it is to me since it's so rare. Now when it comes to pain, child birth is the absolute worst. Of course that is the natural way with no drugs and no c-section. And most Moms will tell you that the pain will fade away quickly as soon as you see that cute little baby's face. In some cases that is true. Like if you had less then 3 hours of labor and delivery. By the way, if you did have 3 hours or less, please don't tell me or I will most likely hurt you.
Time.... Can we ever truly have too much time on our hands? Why is there never enough time in a day? When time slips away, where does it go? And when time is wasted does it just fall onto the ground and seep into the dirt? If time is on Mick Jagger's side, can he share it with others? So many questions, so little time. It's 3:30am, time is up! Wait a second... if time is up, doesn't it also come down? Oh no!!!
