COMPULSION – “Clocks” by Nicole Heinz

 

When I was a little girl, I used to admire beautiful clocks.

Hanging, standing, all colors shapes and sizes. They are forms of art, and they make time seem beautiful. Time is beautiful, but it’s also fleeting. I realize that as we get older time changes our perception.

The yard we used to play in as children no longer seems so big or welcoming. Thoughts of invention don’t seem so realistic. Fairy tales seem made up stories meant to rob us of reality. The blankets that used to cover us as we slept no longer offer protection. But time is real. So, when I see a beautiful clock, I stop.

I still admire its beauty, and I know this life is too short to not take chances. Our perception changes but time doesn’t. We may stop admiring all this beauty, but it’s still there.

This knowing lives inside us. It is us.
