I made this card over a decade ago because I was captured by the images of those two bottles filled with clocks. They reminded me of that old Jim Croce song, Time in a Bottle. Remember that one? That song always made me sad, which is probably why I found some melancholy images to go with the bottles.

This Neter recently showed up in one of my every-other-daily readings recently and it had an important reminder for me:

I am the one who wants to keep time standing still so that nothing ever changes. I am the one who knows that I can’t do this but it doesn’t stop me from wanting it.

I am the one who is distressed and sad that time keeps marching on, meaning that all things must change, must die.

I am the one who tries so hard to keep time in a bottle, even knowing that it is futile

My message for you today is this- It is my energy that fuels your anxiety. You cannot keep Time in a bottle. Time is fluid, and so is life. Death is a fact of life- yours and everyone else’s. Begin to let go of your grasping, your holding on. Let it all go. Look ahead, look beyond. There is more to this Life you are living than the measuring of Time.
