Many years ago on the last day of our Jamaican honeymoon the hotelkeeper called a taxi to take us from Ocho Rios to the airport in Montego Bay for our flight home.
When the driver picked us up he worried we hadn’t enough time for the 100 kilometer trip, and so as we left the hotel, he began to speed.
Sure enough, we were soon pulled over by a policeman.
“Please man, you got to let us go.”, our driver told him. “Time, she is against these two people.”
The officer did let us go and we made our flight, but all these years later we still remember the wise words of our Jamaican taxi man.
So seize the day my friends. Time, she is against us all!

Forget carpe diem! So cliche. Time, she is against us all. Love it! (Great picture)
Thanx Sara, happy new year!
Good lesson.
YES!
The taxi driver was a born philosopher.
YEP!
Dana, as usual, your writings touch my heart. Thank you once again.
Thanx Maxine!
Thank you Dana. Loved the pic too!
Thanx Claudia, but who are those two young people in the pic?
A maxim to live by! And let's give the cop some credit for being a nice guy to two lovers on their way home to a brand new life.
Yep, just yesterday!
One lifetime together is not nearly enough as Joan and I realize along with beautiful Danny and Dana. Time, she’s against us all – even the hopelessly blessed!
Thanx Mike, come to New York for a visit!
Great story! Great picture! Great thought: Time she is against us all!
Thanx Cassandra, too true!
But I thought time is on our side….
Ah that too!
