D'Ya know Steven, time really is moving faster. Apparently these Monks from Mount Athos, known for their deep spiritual discipline and consistency, have noticed peculiar changes that support this. For centuries, they’ve used handmade candles designed to burn exactly 24 hours. The process of making these candles hasn't changed, yet today, the same candles burn noticeably longer.
Similarly, their daily prayers, which follow precise timing and repetition, no longer fit into the same timeframes. You're gettin' older, faster so you'd better get a wiggle on!

Well hello M'dear!
Fashionably tardy as ever here in catching up with all those comments I missed in one of life's oh-so-many (but less frequent) lulls.
I am fairly certain I have written about my slightly off the wall beliefs around the concept of time here before. I have long believed that time is one of those things that man quantified and wrapped up in a neat little package with as bow atop long since.
But much in the same vein that temperatures on this little orb are not static or linear as we would understand the concept, why should the passage of time in space, (if that is even a thing) be any different.
I am not fully on board with the concept of space, or at least spacial understanding either. I think many things have been quantified and explained with the limited amount of tools available to us and perhaps a sprinkling of flawed logic.
Take that feeling that we all have at one time or another, of time compression for want of a better description... Sometimes we have perfect recall of something that was decades ago, yet have blind spots in the memory of things that transpired, mere months ago...
Thank you for the metaphorical kick up the ass... Consider my wiggle, very much ON! 🐛😎
