"Time is free, but it's priceless.

You can't own it, but you can use it.

You can't keep it, but you can spend it.

Once you've lost it, you can never get it back."

--Harvey MacKay

(...time can be lost....)

(... time can stand still... or you can travel in time and space...)

(...but time waits for no one ... you must choose to live in the present...)

I've been thinking alot about the concept of time. Oh... time is real enough.... but it means so many different things to different people. And just as there are so many people in this world... so are the many perceptions of time-- how to use it, how to make it pass more slowly or more quickly... the list goes on.

And so today... I took some time out to take some photos of an old pocket watch. I believe it was my father's grandfather's watch... and it has been broken forever... or so it would seem.

And like that old pocket watch.... I seem to be at a fixed point in time...
not moving forward; nor backward...
