This post is really in response to Diana’s post and Michael’s comment on it, but I am posting it separately in accord with requests I’ve had in the past to put my comments more in the foreground.
Like Michael, I liked Diana’s image of the future as a wind bearing down on his, and also his account of his sailing experience, linking the power of the wind with the sense of presence in time. As I read Diana’s post, I looked out the window, where I see a flag flying in the breeze. That sense of movement seems to make time much more available (perhaps because it’s ‘visible’?). Perhaps music is like that also (and in general, time and sound are presented as related in the TSK books.)
I have been reflecting on why it’s difficult to stay with the dynamic of time in our moment-to-moment experience, and Diana and Michael both offer the helpful suggestion to look for movement (or perhaps to discover that movement within time?) I’ll try working with that.
