When David Saks says, "Time has flown, but it hasn't landed
yet," it suggests
that while time has passed quickly, the impact or consequences of that passage are not yet fully realized or felt. It's a poetic way of expressing a sense of movement and change
without a definitive conclusion or outcome. Imagine a bird flying swiftly through the air—it covers a lot of distance, but until it lands, the journey
isn't complete. Similarly,
our experiences and events in life might rush by, but their full meaning or effects might not settle in until later. It's a thought-provoking way to describe the fluid and often unpredictable
nature of time and life. Our planet
is our family table. Let's
sit together and break bread instead of bones. DavidSaks.Com
