Time

I had arranged to meet a man who was a farmer, and I was a bit late leaving as some friends arrived just as I was preparing to go out.

I dashed there and then couldn't find the farm and had to stop and ask the way.

When I got there I apologised for being late and explained what had happened.

He looked me in the eye and said in a kind tone "you are only a few moments late, and there are always some more moments to follow the ones that have just gone so I shouldn't worry".

His timing was relaxed while I was in my usual hurry up mode of operation!
