Deep Water Prompt #3306

There are corridors in the manor that flicker between now and fifty years ago. Unpredictable and fleeting, you never know when you might see something that should have stayed forgotten.

Malcolm X Was Obsessed with His Watch

I have less patience with someone who doesn't wear a watch than with anyone else, for this type is not time-conscious. In all our deeds, the proper value and respect for time determines success or failure.

-- Malcolm X

Wristwatches played an interesting and important role in the life of Malcolm X. The above quote (told to Alex Haley for The Autobiography of Malcolm X) shows how deeply he respected time, appreciated others who understood its significance, and viewed the watch as an identifier for such people.

"You won't find anybody more time-conscious than I am. I live by my watch, keeping appointments. Even when I'm using my car, I drive by my watch, not my speedometer. Time is more important to me than distance."

"Anything I do today, I regard as urgent. No man is given but so much time to accomplish whatever is his life's work. My life in particular never has stayed fixed in one position for very long. You have seen how throughout my life, I have often known unexpected drastic changes."

* Malcolm X was given his watch by one of his brothers after he had left prison.

In the old days we had no clocks, and no TV or anything like that. My grandmother knew how to tell time by observing the Sun. She showed me how to track my own shadow during the day, and when it was shortest, I knew to run home and help her start dinner. She would say that when the Sun was straight overhead we could completely step on our own shadow.
