“Time is an illusion.” Albert Einstein
Slanted Days Some days time goes slant, doing its own most peculiar thing, upending the laws of physics, placing me parallel unseen where, somedays I am beside myself dancing demented under a lathering, metronomic pulse, while there are other days, where I am warped down in a distorted sound yawn, like swimming in hypnosis, a treacled meditation, wandering me along my way, some days are just slanted. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
Oh, yes, the timelines are getting mighty wobbly!

You’re welcome, Paul. I wonder what we will learn from this strange time, in the end.

Strange! how time remains the same, constant and tame while everything else change, from people and ideas to nations and all civilizations return to dust in time’s unending thrust.

I think we can never go back – the new normal is here and we can only transcend it – but that’s the good bit eh?

Indeed, time is so abstract. “Swimming in Hypnosis,” as other comments have noted, does capture its essence. I awaken periodically to note that 10, then 20, then 50 years have passed. And what can one hold in one’s hand for all those years gone?
