No cell service, no internet, pajamas till noon are not a problem, eating dinner at nine o\u2019clock who cares\u2026 time slows and meanders nothing to think about except the next meal and even that is a pleasure when following hunger pangs not clocks.\u00a0 It has come to my attention that I need these days of nothingness and everythingness, days when nothing is expected and everything is possible.\u00a0 Don\u2019t get me wrong I love a trip that takes me from art museum in the morning to lovely neighborhood for lunch then a play in the evening. Walking city streets, taking in the sites is great, but time blows you along like a wind at your back urging you to see and do more to gobble up your time in this new place.\u00a0 I often find myself exhausted after a vacation.\u00a0 But at our time bending home I come back and am unsure of how long I\u2019ve been gone, a day, a week, a month?\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t matter time has gently bent the days into each other, one relaxing embrace.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I got my son Ivan registered at school, and inventoried supplies in my classroom, made lists, answered emails, and missed an appointment. Time has accelerated again and I must keep up with the industrious Fall wind blowing me forward. And so it goes but I am more ready for the pace, the race with my reset clock, time bending has given me a peaceful core from which to reemerge, and resurface into real time. The clock is ticking the bells are ringing I must go, I hope you have found some where to let time bend this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The summer has whooshed by, my son starts his senior year of High school on Thursday I start teaching art at the elementary school next Tuesday.\u00a0 At the beginning of summer there are so many plans, so many events, a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[37,88],"tags":[324,335,626,740,771,789],"class_list":["post-1720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art","category-inspiration","tag-expectations","tag-fall","tag-quiet","tag-summer","tag-time-bends","tag-vacation"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
