The Lord of Time is not the Lord of Weather. The Lord of Time is eternally old and young and never sleeps. He fears he misses a single microsecond, a tiny sparkle of the more distant star, the slowest drop of rain falling or the speediest blow of wind rushing across the top of the highest mountain. A master of indifference with a sensitive soul. The most of the times, he is composing music, mixing the sound of sand falling upon his feet with the soft hush of blooming flowers.
He’s permanently awake but without any specific purpose. He doesn’t care much about humans or clocks. He has been always like that, every second, minute, hour, day, year, century, millennium and he won’t change. He enjoys too much his endless journey across his eternal spiral. From now and then he looks to the Lord of Weather to wish him, with some malicious irony, a good day… of work even if it is night, even if he can’t listen to him because of the roaring thunder. One way or another it’s always day, working day, for the Lord of Weather. The Lord of Time doesn’t work much, just lets things flow along and enjoys the ride.
The Lord of Weather is a very hard worker. That’s one of the reasons why he falls asleep many times; he gets very tired and takes a nap here and there to recover a little bit from his endless tasks. He’s always young, a compulsive creator, somehow he’s able of flowing in time in all the directions. His tools are the elements and matter of the Universe. And he’s a little bit childish too. Sometimes he begins to gather clouds and huge masses of agitated air with the intention of creating a really big storm, a fantastic spectacle for the eyes… but then he begins to see things, like forests, animals and fabulous creatures in the clouds and the blowing wind making the leaves dancing in a hypnotic way and forgets to go on and the frightening storm becomes a harmless play.
Today he listened when the Lord of Time passed by and saluted him and heard his last symphony. It sounded like the wings of a butterfly flapping gently across a field of golden dry hay. He thought that his partner was finally getting a little more creative. The sound of sand falling was becoming boring. The melody was so soft that in a few minutes he felt enveloped in silk warming arms and fell asleep. The Lord of Time smiled very maliciously when he saw him closing his eyes slowly as a happy child after a full day playing around. And while the Lord of Weather was taking his nap, he decided to play with those foolish things which are calendars and clocks. He changed the place of some letters and numbers and for a second he put his naughty finger upon the axle of all clocks. Suddenly time stopped. Not his time, not that ethereal blood in his guts, just the time outside, the surface, the skin.
It is easy to imagine what happened next. When the Lord of Weather woke up things around weren’t exactly as he expected. But then he looked better, thought a little more and decided that was even better that way. The trees were radiant with their still green dresses with a few splashes of yellow-orange-red here and there. The birds were singing as in springtime and that bright light illuminating the infinite blue sky was so beautiful, peaceful and inspiring. He stopped feeling guilty because of his unexpected naps that changed everything. From that moment on taking naps would become a magic ritual. Let Summer go on… Fall can wait…
