“Explain why you chose your blog’s title and what it means to you.”
When I decided to move my blog to WordPress from another host, I wanted a new name befitting the change. Before I had time to give any thought to the matter, the words “Playing for Time” popped into my mind. I googled “quotes about time,” came up with Dr. Seuss’s words, “How did it get so late so soon?” and knew I had my hook.
I’m well aware that “Playing for Time” was a 1980 television film based on Fania Fenelon’s autobiography, The Musicians of Auschwitz. Although my blog carries no such heavy significance, it does “play” into my interest in music and also the consciousness that time is passing very quickly for me now. It just seemed right, and still feels perfect to me.
Finding myself now at retirement age, I want to fill my time with play, music, and life in general. Having the time to write seems like play to me … and when my mind and heart temporarily run out of words I visit the beautiful little grand piano in my living room and play myself into creativity again.
I have fallen into a happy love affair with my blog — it brings me joy every day, as do the people I meet on WordPress. Playing for time suits me just fine.
