Whenever I see an expression of gratitude, it makes me smile. A very strong part of our resistance to time–to the dynamic of time–is linked to a sense that we are on our own, all alone, and that it is up to us to make sense out of experience. From this position, everyone else is either competition or someone to look down on. Gratitude can change a lot.
The quality of unfolding (there is more, and then there is more again) is very much related to temporality. Again, for everyone: think of what it is like when time becomes pleasurable (usually we say it is that what we are doing gives us pleasure, but time itself changes in such experiences). What is the difference?
A question like this is meant to invite inquiry. It is not meant to require an answer.
