Woe to the multitude of many people who make a noise like the roar of the seas, and to the rushing of nations that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! (Isaiah 17:12).

Caught in Own Time Trap

Time hasn’t changed a noticeable fraction of a second in ten million years. The first man who stood on two feet and watched the sunrise and had a glimmering of wonder about time knew the same span of daylight that we know today, and the same year. Grass grew as deliberately then as now, and the berry ripened in its own time.

But somewhere along the way man began to count not only the days, but the hours, the minutes, the seconds. Time was unchanged but man was caught in his own time-traps. The very echoes came to say, “Hurry, hurry, hurry!” And only now and then did anyone stop and ask, “Why, and what for?”
