On Time

Time is a dream, a destroying dream. It lays great cities in dust, it fills the seas. It covers the face of beauty, and tumbles walls.
 Conrad Aiken,  The House of Dust

  1. I am atill working on trying to live a life without time, I am convinced it is a manmade thing, I just have to stop believing in it!

  2. In some ways, that is true. Time is related to perception of reality. Before there were any clock towers and people telling people what time it was, perception was generally different. It's very difficult if not impossible to think about how that might work. One example would be the life of an elderly person, still functioning but basically living on their on. They lose time and what it means. They lose it in a way that is more than just forgetting. I've always been fascinated how Time works.
