Wrote It Post New Entry

Prompt: "Week 2 is over". 


Where does week come from? 
From a definition measuring time elapsing or the Gregorian calendar?
What defines 24 hours as a day? 7, 24 hour days as a week? 


Why does my day begin at 12am and end the same? 
Perhaps it is the way the sun rises and falls, 
or perhaps it is by the patterns of a sonambulent majority?


How does one constrain life into slots of "day" and "night"?


I've had 10 hour "days" as well as 48 hour "days".
I've had 3 day "weeks" and 30 day "weeks" all the same. 


And how do we define their "end"? 


My days do not end at nightfall.
My weeks do not end with sabbath. 


I live in a continous cycle of existance. 


I live the longest day.

It is an interesting question of where/who/when was it decided to follow the calendar we follow. Time flies and is slow and is existential.
