time is relative

I reminded my students yesterday that time is relative.
Later I thought about that and about a short piece of an NPR interview I had caught earlier in the day. The interview was about a woman who had immigrated to the U.S. but then later returned to her native country because she missed connections with people.
Her thought was that Americans are so filled with thoughts of things they have no room for
people in their lives.
I am about to return to my roots, to my relatives for Christmas.
As my parents age I think about how few Christmas times I probably have with them and realize how precious that time has become to me.
Time is relative, relational, "kairos" God-being time, it is filled with moments of relativity.
It is our biggest blessing/curse the opportunity to use time how we choose.
It is all relative.
