Life and Time (For Day Two)

Hurtling forward. 

Running to the point where your feet pump wildly to just keep up with the forward momentum of your body. If you miss a step, you’ll go crashing down. 

Down and down and then what? 

Pick yourself back up, start to walk, then jog, then before you know it you’re hurtling again. That same out of control motion of running. Legs churning, lungs burning from exertion. 

Everything is out of control.

It is a vicious cycle and all I want to do is get away. All I want to do is slow down. 

How do you slow life?

Time (for 5.17.13)

-->

Caught. Strangled. Bound by the schematic we call time. The sun rising and setting categorized by the span of an hour, a tick of a second. Our breaths and tears, our smiles and fears confined to the days, the waking and sleeping we call life. Our circadian rhythm may tell us when to sleep or rise, but our alarm clocks tell us the time even when while we sleep. The seasons change, leaves fall, flowers grow; all marked by days and years. We are born and we die, but time continues.

And the golden hands of the clock keep ticking.

{escape} 5.28.12

Just open your computer, check your email once more, read that blog again, waste your time.

Just create something, find something to make that will replace what's happening.

Jut turn on the TV. Shut off your mind. Sit there. Relax.

Just work out. Exercise so your mind shuts off.

Just escape. Escape the emotions, the pain, the sadness. Escape the present.

But I can't search my life on google and relive the past. No one is going to email me the future. I can't find what I'm missing on tv, or stop the clock, there's no escape. Everything is ending.

5.27.11 Searching Forever

We search through the vastness of space for something – anything that can prove that we’re not alone. We fly our ships in erotic patterns in the desperate hope that the randomness will somehow aid our searches. We used to be very meticulous in our probing, but that was long ago. Over the centuries we have grown careless, sloppy even. Honestly, I think we have given up. Floating past long dead stars and burned out planets, we have seen far too much lifelessness to truly believe that there is hope.

It is difficult living without hope.

We know we are alone.

5.25.11 - Time and Reality

Fact: time travel has never truly been impossible. In fact, it is quite easy given the right circumstances. Electron particles must be forced to merge with positrons thereby utilizing their anti-material qualities and leaving nothing but pure energy. And time thrives on this. Many have not yet comprehended that time is a dimension; a state of space (or spacetime) governed by energy. Time is anything but stationary. But contrary to popular belief, time does not move in a straight line. Rather, time is like a ball of wires, with hundreds of intersecting points.

The future has already affected your past.
