“Try to imagine a life
without timekeeping.
You probably can’t.
You know the month, the year, the day of the week.
There is a clock on your wall
or the dashboard of your car.
You have a schedule, a calendar,
a time for dinner or a movie.
Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored.
Birds are not late.
A dog does not check its watch.
Deer do not fret over passing birthdays.
Man alone measures time.
Man alone chimes the hour.
And, because of this,
man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that
no other creature endures.
A fear of time running out.”
