Having fun with time

  

     Yeah, I'm insatiable, lol. So, someone posts in a FaceBook rewilding group about methods for marking time via moons, etc. They asked what was thought. It got my thoughts turning toward remembering. My response: "I perceive times and dates, marked by any means, as basically a Dewey decimal system. Good for a quick reference others can correspond realities with, so to speak. Letting go of marking it in any way, I've become aware of it's malleability. I'm more of a before and after specific events or before and after certain realizations kinda girl. We usually come up with a date when I remember a major event from our greater shared reality that corresponded with an event or realization within my personal experiential reality. For example; which corn moon would one refer to specifically in order to convey a place in time an event occurred in one's experiential reality? "The corn moon under which the valley flooded". 10 moons back may not be the ten moons someone else has experienced, lol"
      I remember the time everything froze around me, like in a scene from X Men where Charles freezes everyone in the museum. I looked down to see if I still had a body and it's faculties, lol. I noticed to my side my second born daughter face down in the water. I lifted her up, she spat and sputtered and time resumed. Not even she remembered. Everyone and everything went on as if nothing else had happened. I had experienced a moment in time longer or more than everyone else around me, including the one I had effected in that unrecorded by clock, calendar or moon moment.
   I remembered the time A neighbor came to me and all anxious about it, told me the date on her computer was the same as she remembered from the day before. I was able to comfort her with my knowing that; "These things happen". I wouldn't have noticed. I wasn't keeping track.
     I remembered the time everyone, including me, put our trash out on Sunday evening because trash pickup was Mondays. It is very noticeable because in that town, one was required to purchase special purple trash bags if they wanted their trash picked up. The next morning the trash was still out and later in the day, I noticed the waste removal truck still hadn't come. I looked at the date; it was still Sunday. Our entire neighborhood had become a temporary "Brigadoon". we experienced two Sundays. A sequence of events was obviously being inserted into commonly experienced time/space reality. Mentioning it to someone in the neighbor gets the response; "Yeah, I thought it was Sunday yesterday, too". We usually just shake it off as a mistake we made, saying that we "must have spaced". There's a reason for that being the phrase we use. "Displaced" may be a good word for it if it were accidentally effected, however there are no accidents, really.
     I remember sitting in the woods wearing a bright pink t-shirt and wondering how it was that the family playing in the water in front of me wasn't noticing me. I turned to my right and saw a path that doesn't exist in "normal" time at that spot. Along that path I noticed a man walking it dressed all in black. He gave me a dirty look. He obviously traveled outside of our space/time continuum on a regular basis and didn't particularly like that I had "invaded" his domain.
    From my experience of the guy in black, I can deduce that we can choose to intentionally experience these things. I have been given to understand that a structured time/space continuum is in existence to give context. It can also be used as a sort of filing system. So why does limitation in this regard exist? From the experience of being given to understand our origins were from The Dance's wondering what she looked like and the effects of limitations I struggle with; I can deduce the purpose is to bring greater self awareness to various aspects as well as greater understanding and awareness between aspects.
    And yes, I laugh when my responses challenge domesticated minds. I'm not being mean; I laugh at and truly delight in it when my own domesticated aspects are challenged by one more rewilded in an aspect than I! I often find remembering helpful! It isn't always signifying a bitter sadistic nature to love messing with people's minds.
     As an aside; It is not uncommon for me to experience a dream of joining malfunctioning animatronics before a change of circumstances to alert me to my entering a time/space reality shared by dysfunctional people upon waking up or traveling to a new residential area.
