Minding Months

with 2 comments

We’ve reached the end of April. Tomorrow will be the month of May, 2012. It fascinates me that, to my perception, every single month seems to arrive sooner than my mind expects it should.

Since it happens every month, shouldn’t my mind gradually adjust to it, such that the perception would begin to come across as normal, not increasingly too soon?

I’m curious how, or even if, my perception would be different if we didn’t break the days of the year into 12-month blocks. If I just counted the days in a year, would the numbers appear to climb at an increasingly rapid rate?

It’s all relative something. Like all things, the move from one month to the next can be seen as happening both quick, and at the same time, surprisingly slow.

Tomorrow will be May. Summer is not far beyond that. Today is all April. I will enjoy the rest of April for everything it has to offer.

It seems like the rest of the month went by really fast.

    • It was here just a minute ago! In a blink, we will be putting it back on the shelf for a year, bringing down the lovely month of May to bloom all over the place. πŸ™‚
