Time stretches out like a web in all directions. We can see this from all the expressions about time. "I didn't have enough time", "too much time on my hands", "time waits for no one", and on and on.
I have found that, lately at least, I have been caught up in the sticky web of time. There appear to be more things to do than the time to do them. Does that fit you? When you are involved in something and seem to be at a crossroad, another "something" comes along that demands your attention and as a result your time. If you give in then you can find yourself completely enmeshed in the sticky web of time with your eyes rolling looking for that dark spider to crawl out and bite you.
My mentor, Marc Jones, solved that for me one time when I announced that I had so many things to do that I couldn't do anything. He said... "...then do nothing". That puzzled me for awhile until I realized that his statement came right out of "Alice in Wonderland". And what that meant was that when the situation got tangled in the web of time and space then... step back, reflect.. prioritize perhaps and start back on each one at a time. This may also be the solution to escaping the minotaur's maze.
Either way enjoy your day and stop to smell the roses.
