Daylight Savings Time

This morning one faces the usual mental dis-connect about the time . The trusty atomic clock has eased the way into the current time frame , but the others stand in silent accusation of my lack of attention to them...who clearly are an hour behind the times !
This climbing on rickety stepstools to adjust clocks overdue for dusting brings out a certain degree of grumbling . Who are we , anyway , to mess with TIME ! What hubris to take such a task upon ourselves ! Did we create time...do we maintain it ??? A resounding , "NO !"
What did our ancestors do ? They adjusted to the seasons , boys and girls ! They appreciated the shorter frigid days and longer snuggly nights of winter , when the fields were dormant . Equipment could be repaired or fabricated and all the chores taken care of . They appreciated the longer days of Spring and Summer to prepare the ground and tend the crops . Time was told by the sun...up at first light and off to work...off to bed after supper... A simpler life , not without its charm despite hard work . We are so " advanced" and so very unhappy . Few know their role in life and how to fulfill it...so busy,yet accomplishing so very little...
The clocks are now up to date...the stepladder put away until next time...and the other chores of the day present themselves to be done . Enjoy your day and the time allotted you...
