Holy Yodel

I am reminded daily of how much humans resemble the “animals” that we so convienently ignore. Besides the news I got that some people are born with tails, and that we all have one in some form or another, I realized that we still use a clock to keep time. Even “wild savages” can keep time in their minds, and use the sky for reference. I had just grown so used to looking at a clock that it became second nature. I was playing music and keeping time in my head, four beats per second, when it dawned on me like a melting evening sunset from the beaches of Earth. Time is relative.
