What Time is It, Mr. Wolf?
Do you know the game, “What time is It, Mr. Wolf?” The person who is telling the time (the wolf) stands at one end and all the other participants stand and wait at a starting point. They ask the wolf “What time is it Mr. Wolf?” The wolf then says a time, for example, “It’s three o’clock.” Participants take three steps towards the wolf. The question is repeated with participants moving forward each time. When the wolf says, “It’s dinner time”, the wolf tries to catch anybody who is running back to the starting line. If the wolf catches them, then that participant is the wolf, and the game starts again. Do you know what time it is these days? Somehow the ebb and flow of events are spilling into each other like fluid where the specificity of time seems to disappear. And you lose sight of the dinner hour – perhaps to gain sight of something more important.”
