Have time?

"It only takes a few minutes."

How often have you heard or read that statement, usually in connection with something that 'should' be done? For me the one that stands out from the mists of memory was: "It only takes a few minutes, last thing at night, to wash your nylon stockings and hang them to dry for the morning."

And so our time incrementally and gradually gets filled up, till we nearly always feel pressed. At least I do. It's a habit now. But why should I buy into this?

Strolling with the little person, we stopped to watch a white butterfly flitting here and there; and I realized... yes, I do have time. All I have to do is take it.
