Today a friend noted my use of the phrase I let time get away from me. I meant that time often seems to be galloping away like a spooked horse, leaving me standing with broken reins in the field of my undone tasks. But my friend wondered (jokingly), "What if you take it literally? Are you on the way for time travel?"
I thought this was an interesting concept. Do you-all have any comments?

in an Einsteinian (and expanding) universe, it always depends on your frame of reference. that is, time *could get away from you, leaving you standing still as it were. or time could stand still, but then when are you?

Thanks, ron. I was having problems imagining what "time getting away from me" could mean, if taken literally.
Or either it's already being taken literally.

Time Has Come Today
The Chambers Brothers
Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can't put it off another day
I don't care what others say
They say we don't listen anyway
Time has come today
(Hey)
Oh
The rules have changed today (Hey)
I have no place to stay (Hey)
I'm thinking about the subway (Hey)
My love has flown away (Hey)
My tears have come and gone (Hey)
Oh my Lord, I have to roam (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)
Now the time has come (Time)
There's no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I've been loved and put aside (Time)
I've been crushed by the tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)
(Time)
Now the time has come (Time)
There are things to realize (Time)
Time has come today (Time)
Time has come today (Time)
Time [x11]
Oh
Now the time has come (Time)
There's no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I've been loved and put aside (Time)
I've been crushed by tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)
(Time)
Now the time has come (Time)
There are things to realize (Time)
Time has come today (Time)
Time has come today (Time)
Time [x4]

maybe this belongs in the philosophy thread, but thinking about time always makes me think of this song: For All We Know
Words & Music by Sam M. Lewis & J. Fred Coots
Recorded by Nat King Cole, 1943
A F#m D9 Dm7 E7
For all we know we may never meet again
A F#7 Edim Bm7-5 Fdim E7
Before you go make this mo - ment sweet again
Cdim A Cdim Bm7 E7
We won't say "Good night" until the last minute
A Cdim Bm7 F7 E7?
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it
A F#m D9 Dm7 E7
For all we know this may only be a dream
A F#7 Edim Bm7-5 Fdim E7
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
Cdim A G#7 C#7 F#7
So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Bm7 Dm6 E7 Bm7-5 E7 A6
Tomorrow may never come for all we know. my favorite version is by Billie Holiday, on "Lady in Satin" with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. sublime...
formerly known as etaoin...

Play it again, Sam...Hey! Wait a minute, I never said that!...Play it, Sam... As Time Goes By...
Lyrics and Music by Herman Hupfeld;
© 1931 Warner Bros. Music Corp., ASCAP
This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
