dalí has isolated the central image of his best-known paintin and given it the same title. it is a simple figure: a limp watch draped over the branch of a dead tree. dalínean time is not rigid; it is one with space... fluid. the unexpected softness of the watch also representz the psychological fact that the speed of time, while precise in scientific use, is widely variable in human perception. when we are involved in pleasant activitiez or in work that absorbz all our attention, 'time flies', but when we are mired in boredom or discomfort, it dragz. the limp watch no longer 'keepz' time; it does not measure itz passage. thus, the speed of our time dependz only on us.

Patient persistence in prayer: A reflection by Fr. Tony Nye SJ, first published in the Farm Street Church newsletter, November 2010:
WHY KEEP PRAYING?
“This Sunday’s gospel (Luke 18:1-8) tells the story of a widow who kept on coming to an unjust judge. She persisted in her request even though that judge seemed unable and unwilling to listen. The parable is prefaced with the words, ‘Jesus told his disciples a parable about the need to pray continually and not give up.’ Not that God our Father is in any way like that unjust judge. It is the trust and persistence that Our Lord is teaching us. He ends with reassurance about His Father’s response to our needs in prayer: ’Now will not God see justice done to his chosen who cry to him day and night even when he delays to help them?’
But why the delay? Why is it that I pray for something that is so important to me or to those I love or to the world around me, but God does not seem to answer? He leaves me waiting. Why should I persist in prayer and not give up? What use is praying any more?
St. Augustine pondered over this puzzle that most of us have some time in our lives. It is an a letter he wrote to a lady called Proba all about prayer. His answer is worth thinking about. God keeps us waiting so that we are made ready to receive what He wants to give us by increasing our desire. ‘He wants our desire to be exercised in prayer’, says St. Augustine, ‘thus enabling us to grasp what he is prepared to give.’ Because we are ‘small and limited vessels for receiving it.’ This is true of the grace and bliss God has in store for us. Waiting, persisting in asking, desiring widens our hearts to receive. Pray without ceasing does not mean repeating words over and over, but keep desiring, pray in your heart. Then our soul is like a bag that is stretched so that it is large enough for the gifts God wishes to give.
Here is a thought from another master of prayer, Blessed John Henry Newman. Like St. Augustine he shows that persisting in prayer is not to inform God. He knows in His infinite wisdom what we need, what is best for us. No, it is to change us, so that our hearts and minds grow by prayer. Pope Benedict had a lot to say on prayer during his memorable visit. He quoted these words from Blessed John Henry Newman at the end of his homily in the Beatification Mass:
‘a habit of prayer, the practice of turning to God and the unseen world in every season, in every place, in every emergency – prayer, I say, has what may be called a natural effect in spiritualizing and elevating the soul. A man is no longer what he was before; ... he has imbibed a new set of ideas, and become imbued with fresh principles.’ (from Parochial and Plain Sermons)."

Weeds won't give up. No matter how many times, and how often I pull them out, they keep growing again, especially as I don't want to use any chemicals. Well, at least weeding is different from school work - you see the fruits of your labour straight away. I guess I am as persistent as the weeds!
