Eat mangoes naked. Plant impossible gardens. They say times flies when you have fun - but no one ever tells you it does the same whether you're enjoying the moment or not. Think about it - of all the things in the world, time is one of the few things you can absolutely count on. Our lives are constantly ticking no matter what we're doing.
Time is about change.
Take, for instance, the lives of many of the Kosovar a year ago today. Families were spending time in their homes and eating dinner at the kitchen table just as many Americans do. I'm sure they never imagined a tent as home and a daily supplement to suffice for Saturday night's dinner. A couple of weeks ago I watched a news program about the war in Kosovo featuring those undergoing the ethnic cleansing. Tears came to my eyes as I watched a woman describe her experience.
