Time slip this morning

[MorningGlow]

Okay, that was a weird one! It was only about 7 to 10 minutes, all told, but it was noticeable. I got up at the usual time, around 7:00, and, as usual, followed the clock. Woke MG Jr. up at the usual time, around 7:15...and yet sometime between then and when we left the house, we lost time.

I kept following the clock as I always do, expecting to leave a few minutes before 8:00. But the clock kept ticking, and I didn't bother to hustle Jr. out the door. Now, I'm not that kind of person--I usually am VERY punctual and kinda type A about it--I get nervous if I think I'm going to be late for anything.

The bus that stops at our corner at 8:50 showed up at 8:54. I didn't think much of it. We left the house at 8:07 instead of 7:56. I didn't think much of it. But I sure did a double take when I saw the lady who usually walks her large black dog at precisely 7:59 walk by...at 8:07! In other words, if it was just us who were late, she should have gone by at her usual time and we shouldn't have seen her this morning, but she was keeping the same schedule we were.

On the road--even though, according to the clock, we were about 10 minutes late, we wound up behind the same school bus we get behind when we leave on time. MG Jr.'s classmate and her sister were still waiting for their bus when we drove past their house--although they should have been picked up before we passed by.

EVERYbody was late, but we were ALL equally late! It was then that it hit me that the time on the clocks didn't mean diddly this morning. We had a time slip. Cool...

1. That's really interesting, MG.

I didn't notice anything in my own little world.

It's a real gift when you notice something like that.

2. I've experienced time slips before, but

this is the first time I noticed it affecting everyone. VERY different. I suppose we should expect more of this in the future? :D

3. You know what time slips were

explained as on the "X-Files", an alien abduction. Now I know you don't have little chips implanted on the back of your necks, but really I wonder if everyone did a little inter-dimensional slip there.

4. Gaaaah!

:rofl:

I remember that--I was a huge fan of The X-Files! :D OMG does that mean that my entire village has been abducted?! ROFL--that would have made a good episode, come to think of it!

5. I have noticed several times in the week or two

that time has gone too fast. Last week while in a yoga class it was over in what felt like half the time. I was traveling clear across town and arived in almost half the time again. I'm not able to explain why I felt such a speed up.

6. One rational explanation is that

your clock was off.

When you got to where you were going, was the time what it should have been, or was it still off?

I have experienced several time slippages, and the most noticeable was, many years ago when I was an airline ticket agent at National Airport in Washington, D.C., and a piece of luggage arrived several hours before it was checked in at the originating city.

I sometimes refer to these things as "anomalies of time and space" and I'm sure they are real, if not directly measurable. They seem to be subjective, as your experience this morning was, and yet they really happen. Because I tend to be more grounded in the "real" world, I seek explanations in that real world, and I'm often willing to dismiss such things. But I've had just enough experiences over the years to understand that things are not as they are explained by the "real" world, and so I take your time slip as real.

7. Yes. I arrived at my usual time for both places..

[SheilaT]

8. Very interesting.

Do you have any explanation for this yourself? Or does it just seem to be one of those weird things that sometimes happens.

9. True

But I was working off a bedroom clock, a kitchen clock, a stove clock, and one on the coffeemaker, as well as my watch. They were all in sync and all, I thought, keeping the right time. (Two are digitals, so if the power had gone off, they would have been blinking at 12:00.) Oh yeah--and the school clock. So this one weird thing was legit. Freaky, but legit. :D

10. At our guild meeting

everyone was talking about how they ran late this am. Of course it didn't help that it was raining, grey and dismal outside.

11. Incredible, wasn't it?

MG Jr. slept till 8:00 (and consequently so did I). I called my mom around 9:20 and she said "What time is it? You woke me up." Unheard of, for her! There's just something about a dark, rainy morning that makes everyone want to stay in bed.

Personally, I love really rainy days. I just wish I could have spent it at home, reading a book or something. But Jr. and I had things to do, so we were on the road practically all day.

12. And I overslept that morning. Something I rarely do!

So I was running around late that morning, too, but got to work on time.

13. that's 'cause time is speeding up for the planet's next stage.

we should be having these a bit more frequently in the future. at least that's what we've been hearing from channelers already. neat that you can recognize a massive one; like the fish witnessing the ocean from a distance for the first time.
