Time Is Found In The Calibration Of The Individual To The Timing Of A Collective Endeavour, The Social Grace That Less Clock-bound Societies Must Practise.

Clock Measurement Is Not Time Itself. In Fact, So Opposed Are They That One Could Argue The Clock Is Not A Synonym, But The Opposite Of Time.

In Many Traditions, The World Was Sung Into Being: Aboriginal Australians Believe Their Ancestors Did So. In Hindu And Buddhist Thought, Om Was The Seed Syllable That Created The World.

What Is Wild Cannot Be Bought Or Sold, Borrowed Or Copied. It Is. Unmistakeable, Unforgettable, Unshamable, Elemental As Earth And Ice, Water, Fire And Air, A Quintessence, Pure Spirit, Resolving Into No Constituents. Don't Waste Your Wildness: It Is Precious And Necessary.

Clearly, Many Branches Of Science Need An Exquisite Precision Of Timekeeping And The Infinitesimal Decimals Of Calibration, So Space Launches, For Example, Are Not Scheduled For Leap-second Dates. But Society As A Whole Neither Needs That Obsessive Time Measurement Nor Is Well Served By It.
