Outside of Time

I have been thinking recently about this blog and my use of it over the months since its creation. I never wanted it to be a place for me to talk about the daily events of life or politics or even national tragedies. Rather, I wanted this blog to be a place where I could express my thoughts based on those events, to reflect on life as I know it, and to share the thoughts that inspire me or make me think. It was as I was pondering these things that I noted how interesting it is that not all of our thoughts are necessarily directly tied to the physical things that happen from day to day; these thoughts change (whether greatly or minutely) as often as the events in our lives. However, we also have the ability to think outside these more immediate circumstances. These thoughts are the ones that last throughout time and can be related to by a greater span of people, because the untied thoughts are independent or outside of time. While these thoughts are often prompted by something that has occurred, they are not directly about it, but rather about something greater than that single event. These thoughts are the ones of which I wish to write in this blog - the more important thoughts that are relevant for longer than a week. Not that there is not a place for writing about daily events, but that is never what I wanted this to be. For my own purposes, I desire for this blog to be a reflection of patterns, of independent thoughts - the thoughts outside of time.
