Living Lightly: Time, Information & the Quality of Our Participation Reflection by Chris “Yellow Owl” Albaugh “What is a long life if it is never truly explored, experienced and lived?” For years I believed time was something to manage. I measured it. I chased it. I protected it. I wished there was more of it. I looked at clocks, calendars, birthdays, schedules, and deadlines as though they were measuring my life.
