A recent long weekend of four overnights and 1700 miles of driving included a stay at Lake Junaluska in Western North Carolina, a Saturday night wedding with a Sunday morning brunch in Columbus, Mississippi, and a roadside break at Claytor Lake State Park in Southwest Virginia. On the fourth day as we drew close to our home near Richmond, Virginia my husband remarked, “It seems like we’ve been gone longer than just four days, not in the sense that it was too much, but in the sense that it was such a rich and full time.” From the beauty of the mountains to the joy of connecting with loved ones, to the sense of gratitude for all the abundance we experienced along the way it was a rich and full time. I think it’s the fullness that keeps time from slipping away. Working in a life-plan community where the average age is 80 plus I find that time is very much on people’s minds. Too much time, not enough time, the right time, time gone by, or just wondering what time it is! Time is how our humanly life is organized, and what we choose to do with it is how we experience meaning.
