Time distance

The world is very big and at the same time very small,
and still getting smaller and smaller.
However, the distance between people may seem to be longer.
The long trade journeys of the past could easily last a decade or two.
Today’s worldwide container freight is meticulously planned.
We can talk about a delay of maybe half an hour
between from Asia or Australia to Europe.
Before, there was talk of time horizons of weeks, months, even years.
When it came, it came – if it came.
