The Two Times

There are two ways of moving through the day:

The time of necessity—
structure, duty, the clock.
Use it like a tool.
Never let it own you.

The time of presence—
rhythm, intuition, the quiet moment.
Enter it whenever the weight of necessity has passed.

Switch between them as one breath follows another.
Do not ask which is better.
The one you resist is the one you need.
