#4 - Is more time freedom or a trap?
In this episode, I read the poem - "To have without holding" by the American poet, Marge Piercy. This poem is a love poem, about the frustrations and joy of a relationship one feels strongly about. But I am taking a different interpretation to it, I am reading it as if Time were a lover - we curse it and make sweet sweet love to it, we are acutely aware of its presence and absence. It makes us feel free and trapped, all at once, especially at a time like now when we are in lockdown. This poem is empathetic to our responses to a passionate but frustrating love, but also a gentle coaxing to moderate our longing and our anger for a delightful balance in life toward the one we love.
