I don't know how invented the watch, but it began a process that will never stop. At the age of 6 or 7 or so, it was a decoration that went 'tick-tock'. But then by 10 they'd invented the watch: portable guidance until the hands fell off. And a few years later it was luminous hands, then digital figures to help you understand. Conditioned by punctuality. Knew when to be there, but not where to be. We thought we could control the time by always knowing what it was. Now every action has a certain speed as we let time control us. Every technological step is faster than the one before. Watching the neighbors and fashion shows, to see if we need to know more. Desperate to be one-step ahead. Loving to be followed, but still needing to be led. So keep up the pace and keep in line. You're either in the race, or you're left behind. You may feel part of society, but the truth is more sublime. I said, "Stop! Take a look around you!" But you never had the time.
