Cutting through Time

Are we cutting through time faster than we imagine? Over the last few days, I have a strange feeling that we are moving faster than we imagine . However, I cannot support this with hard facts, but I have this eerie thought that we are in some sort of invisible space fluid which is making us surge ahead in the time fabric, although we have not been moving much in space. Is this because I am not using a watch or  that I am too busy ? Every time I look at the clock I feel that several hours have passed & I have been quite unproductive for that amount of time. This keeps happening always and however hard I try doing stuff more efficiently, it has not been of much use. Is there anybody else out there who feels the same way?, that we are moving faster than we imagine!! ??

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
