Time
What is your vision of the rule of time? Is time as a cruel dictator, a heartless machine, a grim reaper? Or is time a benevolent king, a patient guide, a gentle midwife? We make time in our own image, projecting our view of the world, our life’s experiences, externalising our inner beliefs. Time can be like the God of the Old Testament – a supreme power to worship and fear; a jealous and vengeful deity, who demands sacrifices and unquestioning servitude. Time can also be like the God of the New Testament – loving and caring, nurturing and forgiving. For time sanctions birth and nourishes growth, time bears fruit and heals wounds.
