After reading a passage in Jim Muncy’s book, Time Basics, I decided to put 96 marbles (representing 8 years of months) into a jar and carry one around each month to help stay focused on time. At the end of each month, I will incorporate the marble into a piece of architectural vision of my journey. So far, after nearly two weeks, I find myself treating the first marble like “Wilson” in Cast Away. I panic if I misplace it. I keep it protected. Just like the time that it represents, it is very precious. If I had treated the last 10 years as carefully, my life would most likely be significantly different.So, I guess that when the I have lost all my marbles, my life should be even more exciting than it is today.
