Today we moved the clocks forward for another season of daylight savings time. I find this idea ridiculous. How can you save daylight? Is this man’s inherent need to control what can’t be controlled? Daylight just is what it is. It comes and it goes according to the seasons. You can’t put it in the bank or tuck it away somewhere to save for later. Once it’s gone, it’s gone and you can’t get it back. Does it really matter if you get up earlier every day so you can enjoy sunlight for another hour every evening? What about enjoying getting up with the sun and hearing the birds singing outside your window instead of driving to work in the dark and missing out on a beautiful sunrise. Are we so focused on doing more and more that we think we have to have that extra hour of light when we get home in the evening? Our bodies are made to flow with the turn of the earth and the seasons. For some mysterious reason, we seem to have forgotten that to be in harmony with nature is really the best thing for us. It’s no wonder that so many people are stressed out and unhappy. We’re always trying to do more, be more, control what can’t be controlled. And what are we saving by doing this? Time? Daylight? I don’t think so. All we’re really doing is stressing ourselve further and disconnecting with the natural harmony that sustains us. We’re already sleep deprived and spend time rushing headlong into our futures instead of enjoying our now. In the end, we’re not saving anything and we may actually be losing precious moments of our lives. Are you a fan of daylight savings time?
