“How amazing time is, and how amazing we are.”
Children of Gods, Scions of Apes
The Vision: Reflections on the Way of the Soul (1994)
Context: How amazing time is, and how amazing we are. Time has been transformed, and we have changed; it has advanced and set us in motion; it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration.
Yesterday we complained of time and feared it, but today we love and embrace it. Indeed, we have begun to perceive its purposes and characteristics, and to comprehend its secrets and enigmas.
“how we seek to spend our time may depend on how much time we perceive ourselves to have.”
