Time is an illusion

Which activities make you lose track of time?

The butterfly counts not months but moments and has time enough.”— Rabindranath Tagore

I start reading a book and I can’t believe it, if the book is good, fictional or fact, it immerses me as if I have entered into the book and when I next look up wow 3,4, even 5 hours have passed but I have no idea where that time has gone. I have not drunk eaten or heard my phone, my dog as ever is asleep. I have just lost track of time

I can start writing or drawing and lose myself , I am either in the story I am writing, carefully plotting the next move or in the true story ones noting details as things flash back to me. If I am drawing my mind is just on colours or maybe charcoal. Decisions of what I want to draw or paint, normally it’s just colours kind of free flow, I know I can draw I just like to play with colour and ohhh the afternoon has gone in the blink of an eye. I have lost all track of time

Of course there are other ways, sat talking to my bestie, playing a game on my phone, having a look on social media all good ways of losing all track of time

Oh my friends my favourite way to lose all track of time is to sit in my chair and put my head back, gently closing my eyes and letting my mind wander. Oh wow it travels miles to countries all over the globe then back to the UK to once again revisit villages last seen as a child. I have been to space, visited galaxies that we could not cross, met beings and had food with them. Then suddenly found myself sat watching as knights of old jousted in tournaments, visited talking animals who acted with human characteristics , castles in the sky. All in daydreams that I have woken from and realised 3 hours had passed and I had day-dreamt my way past a mealtime. But what a wonderful way to lose track of time.
