Big Ben …it is the correct time!
As I was walking down Mass Ave. this clock, in a store window, caught my fancy. Specifically, the name of the clock,”Big Ben,” is what had me stop. The seconds on this clock are marked by the clicking of a feather. A design encompassing, vintage,
whimsical and modern. The name is also shared with the bell, within the bell tower, that has chimed the signal of time in London, airing on the BBC since 1924. The clock tower in London is known around the globe as the most accurate and reliable keeper of time. What do these two clocks have in common? Very little. ..Their differences are that of geographical location, a five hour time difference, their history(Westclox began manufacturing of clocks in 1904), and most undeniable is… Value. I see time as a conversation. It is not something tangible, something to hold in my hand. ~time is fleeting ~ time is a mystery ~ lost track of time ~ we can find some time… I will make time for you because, to me, YOU are valuable, not time. What is valuable to you? Are you willing to make time?
Big Ben, here…Big Ben, London…tick tock, tick, tock…
Good night…Sweet dreams. XO
End of the day
“Can I sing to you mom?” “Sure,” I replied. Following the setting sun, listening to her belt out her favorite song… The soundtrack of my life. Good night East, good night West, good night North, good night South, good night sun slipping away.
Good night…Sweet dreams XO
