Try imagine a life without timekeeping


You probably can't.

You know the month, the day, the week. There is probably a clock on your wall or on a dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie.
Yet all around us timekeeping is being ignored.
Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays.

Man alone measures time.
Man alone chimes the hour.
And because of this man suffers a paralysing fear that no other creature endures.

A fear of time running out.
