Time: Fact and Fiction

Seniors in the Building returns for Season 3! After a short break we begin with an episode on time. How do we understand time? How is time both fact and fiction? The universe unfolds in its own time while we humans create all kinds of constructs around time like a 24-hour clock, calendars and deadlines. When we retire, we move from those constructs into a more fluid, universal sense of time. We may struggle to find the balance between establishing enough structure to shape our days while maintaining the flexibility to be spontaneous and free of constraints. We may focus more on using our energy gaining experiences, moving away from the learning aspects of an earlier time in our lives. We have a sense of ourselves through many generations as part of the whole of our history. Time is stolen with illness when managing health issues fills our time and narrows our focus. We are grateful for the time we have and every year, month, day is a gift. We are also grateful to our technical expert for figuring out how to record and post this while we are in two separate countries. Listen to our episode on time.
