My days, as with everyone are tracked by the passage of time. Years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes & seconds. But that's not how I comprehend my existence. Yes, I am trapped within time just as everyone else, bound by its laws and at least aware of its actuality, but I cannot grasp the passage of time as units of measure. I mark my 'time' on this earth with experiences. Like landmarks as indicators of where I've been, where I'm at, & where I'm going, my experiences are indicators of my lifetime.
That is why I can't tell if I have done something 2 days ago as opposed to 2 weeks ago or 2 months to 2 years ago. It is the events that 'count' my time.
