Mary Oliver's frame on creativity and time.
"The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time."

Framing time
When you are 5 years old, one year is 20 percent of your whole life. When you are 50 years old, one year is only 2 percent of your life. That is one reason people say time feels like it moves faster as you get older.
This idea is sometimes called Janet’s Law. It suggests that by the time you turn 20, you have already experienced about half of your life as you feel it, even though you have not lived half of your actual years yet.
Another way to think about it is this. A summer holiday for a 5 year old can feel as long as the ten years between age 40 and 50.
