[13]
"It is the time you have wasted
on your rose that makes it important."
This line, taken from Exupery's "The Little Prince" is simple but rich in meaning. Time is as free as the air we breathe. It is we humans that made it a precious commodity negotiable in the market place. It is sold and bought. "Time is money," we often say. The opportunity cost.
Lord, you made us spatio-temporal creatures. My life
on earth is but a grace period before eternity. It expires when eternity
begins. The time I spend on objects or people is what makes them important
to me. In my busy schedule, let me spend quality moments with you. Deliver
me from the tendency to give you the bum's rush. Let me make you important
to me by the amount of time I spend with you in silence, in discerning
your will.
