We live within many different rhythms at once.
There are short timelines: daily + weekly tasks. There are things that happen once a month or once a quarter. There are seasonal events like the first strawberries in June or the last tomatoes in September. Celestial events that happen once a year or every X amount of years. So many timelines we can anchor to.
When I’m only tuned into the immediate – the thing that needs doing right now – time becomes flat. Everything feels equally urgent, or equally meaningless.
While it’s important to get up every day and do the thing, it’s also important to connect to long time.
It’s like learning to hold peripheral vision while focusing on what’s in front of me.
