What intrigued me about this is the interesting dichotomy you've set up. In the modern frenetic world, time takes all we have - there's never enough.

But, the dichotomy fails because it's not mutually exclusive: time goes on forever so there's plenty of it. Why are we then short of time?

Don't know if you planned it like that, but it works for me. Deep, yet simple and succinct.

Thanks, John. Forever is a long time...not quite sure time will last that long. We started somewhere; we will end somewhere. It's inevitable.
