The Time Keeper

"The Secret of Life is enjoying the passage of time."   James Taylor

"The Time Keeper" is the latest fiction by Mitch Albom (Tuesdays with Morrie).  Mr. Albom is a very different writer.  While his stories are varied, he deals with life, living and the very deep reasons for our existence.  In three interrelated stories he deals with how you and I miss much of life because of how we treat the "idea of time".   We think time is so valuable that we use every possible device to communicate and at the same "time" miss what is before us.

"Who by worrying can add a single hour to his life."  Jesus

The book starts with the man who made the first clock.  It adds a 16 year old girl who is in love for the first time with a popular boy who leads her on.  Then it adds a billionaire who is dying but wants to live forever.  Then it gets good.

"The thing about time is that time isn't really REAL. It's all on your point of view,"  James Taylor

Great book if you like to think!
