Time has some illusory qualities.  Three minutes can seem like no time at all when we are rushing from one thing to another and seem like everything when we are three minutes late for an important appointment.  As a kid, we thought for use summer was so far away.  As adults we are amazed to be at the end of another year that just seemed to fly by. Time seems to depend on the context.  We like to think of it in a mechanical fashion as in an hour is always an hour.  If you are sitting in traffic or spending time with a loved one that same hour either does not move fast enough or is not enough time.  You break it down to 60 minutes or 3600 seconds for either experience so it is clear that the actual time has not changed.  We take for granted that time moves us on.  Whether we like it or not whatever the experience of time we are having, it will pass.  In our hearts exists a timelessness.  When we are engaged from our hearts time is described as standing still.  It is as though the restrictions of the mind disappears.  Some describe it as being in the flow of life.  Letting go for a minute or two of the fixation on the number of seconds or minutes allows us to drop into our hearts perspective of right here, right now.  The big deal about being in the present is the magical quality it seems to possess for overriding reality.  One is able to make the hour stretch out because we step out of our mind keeping track of the seconds and savor every breath that happens as it happens.
