Who invented the alarm clock any way?

The summer holidays are coming up and the children are on "count down" - I too cannot wait for the freedom that the Summer holidays brings - no alarms clock - no need for "practical time" at all and plenty of time for play and rest -

Does anyone know you invented the alarm clock anyway - who ever it was is certainly not on my award list *grin*.


During the past few weeks while teaching here in Sussex and in Glasgow - time has not been measured or watched - and in this space of no limitation or impatience - miracles have flowed with pure grace and ease -


Last week the students and I were all siting for together for a "cake break" *smile* and the group were asking about my husband and the lack of time he spends at home - I jokingly replied that I might as well be married to the milkman - and then in my mind affirmed I did not even have a milkman -


Five minutes later the intercom buzzer went on the front door - "hello."


"Hi, I am you local milkman - do you need your milk deliveredd?"


I laughed so much - and -no ,I did not book his services - just look how quickly my thoughts caught up with me though - in a space of "no time".


And so I finish on a little more serious note with two quotes that just about sums up for me the dis - service that measuring time can bring into our lives -


It is important to live in the NOW - for only NOW, is where the guidance IS.


"Past and future veil God from our sight, burn up both with fire" - Rumi

"Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greater obstacle to God than time." Meister Echart.


"The past cannot survive in your presence. It can only survive in your absence."


Have a beautiful "time free" month ahead *smile*
