Thank you Cindy!

Has anyone here experienced “the quickening” or the speeding up of time?

We will be into spring, before we know it.

The quickening seems to be talked about more and more by young people. I used to think it was just for us older ones.

No, but then the older one gets; the shorter time seems to be.

Otherwise, a good cup of coffee is the only “quickening” that
happens to me.

Each day is a gift from God.
Living the gift wisely is good enough for me.

Our teenage daughters notice it and mention it quite often.

This sounds very much like the ideas which have been much discussed in the past few years about the approach of a "Singularity" in human affairs, particularly technological. A good introduction to writings on this subject can be found in the Technological Singularity article on Wikipedia.
