Losing track of time.

I know people that think of time as long and excruciating. For instance, five hours at work. Whether it be digging ditches or teaching or writing. Can seem like a long, long time. That is, if one isn’t having pleasure. If one dislikes the activity. If one isn’t absorbed. But add such ingredients as fulfillment and love and curiosity – well, it’s almost as if time ceases to exist. One loses track of time.  –Jim Broede
