I love the idea of "splitting seconds myself".
"Too much lives in a moment"
Oh my goodness, isn't this a marvelous reminder?
Think of all our body is doing in one second!
Our brain fires 100 million nerve impulses while it
processes input from all FIVE of our senses--nearly simultaneously!
At the same time, regulating our heart rate, breathing, and posture.
Our heart pumps roughly 70 milliliters of blood
sending oxygen and nutrients to tissues.
Blood travels several feet through our arteries and veins.
We inhale or exhale once, moving 500ml of air in and out of our lungs.
Oxygen diffuses into our bloodstream and CO2 is expelled feeding
the green leaves all around us.
Our body produces around 3 million new red blood cells
and 30-40 thousand skin cells die and fall off.
Plus, cells complete thousands of chemical reaction for energy, repair and growth.
Bone marrow creates new blood cells constantly.
Hundreds of muscles adjust to maintain posture, balance and subtle movements.
Our eyes may blink once, our retinas process thousands of light signals and
our ears receive and transmit sound vibrations at over 300 meters per second.
Our bod adjusts blood flow, sweating and metabolism to maintain our core temperature.
And one single second is enough to recognize a loves one's voice, recall a memory
or feel a flash of emotion.
All this in ONE SECOND!
It took way longer to type this in!
No wonder we might want a "tiny ax to split these seconds" ourselves.
"Too much lives in a second not to feed it to the fire in our heart...
SLOW."
Namaste'
