I have never made friends with time. Time is false, a pretender. Made malleable by the mind. And yet, too strict and unyeilding for my free spirit. It is a law I'd like to break. I have left a trail of busted clocks and broken watches in my perpetually tardy wake.
Or am I the true liar. I am a lover of the moon. I follow her waxings and wanings. The ebbs and flows of her tide govern my blood. I worship the turning of the seasons. That reassuring cycle that promises that death follows life, but life follows death again. I suppose I find nature's time piece friendlier than those mockeries made by man.

LOL! I think we've all been knocked around by that tardy wake you leave behind you...
This post reminds me of an episode of my new favorite podcast, Radio Lab. It's a show on WNYC and is a mix of science and history and human experience. Anyway, they spend an entire episode talking about the concept of time and how human beings have come to terms with time over history (if the link doesn't work, just search for Radio Lab in iTunes).
Load it on your ipod and I promise your on-again off-again relationship with time will become more strained yet!
