No matter how complex
the clock is..
The moment will just pass
I was standing inside this clock-shop when I noticed the odd looking triangular clock with a semicircular pendulum.
The frame was an isosceles triangle - two long sides and one short base. It was wooden, and numbers from one to twelve were scattered over it.
The secondhand closed in for the next round. A black, long-enough, typical secondhand.
But as it moved nearer and nearer to the shortest angle of the triangle, its way seemed all con-justed, the possibility of it being able to complete the round without being blocked by the frame diminishing with every
step of its journey..
tension bubbled up.. the way seemed to close and the motion seemed to stop, overriding all my consciousness of the fact that it is a working clock.
Then, again, at the point of shortest distance between the tip of the second hand and the frame of the triangle, the moment just passed.
That was an insight. I stood staring at the clock.
Now and then we keep on stressing about life. Worried of the narrow chances and high risks. Worrying if we could make it or not...
Always remember the secondhand.
Always remember.. its a Working Clock! It should move on, and it will move on.
Keep your pace, hold your mind.. for even the roughest will simply pass.. to wider spaces and smoother surfaces..
Move on, and make things happen!
