Time in Timelessness

Watching (and “reading” the audiobook of) Outlander has been a real time-bender for my mind. It stretches and bends and warps my sense of the idea of time. There is ‘me’ in this time of global pandemic watching an actor from my time playing a character from the time just after the Second World War getting catapulted into Scottland during times of war and destruction, back into her time until the sixties, then back to Scotland and on to Amerika and into Civil War and the abolition of slavery, trying to make the world a better place with her knowledge from another time.

Then there is me painting the 12 Kalis, the creators of time and space and form in a timeless and formless space. And what do I know about them other than that which comes from someplace else.

Meanwhile, I am also studying the Bhagavad Gita, the great Indian epic of war, and as a flower-scented breeze brushes by my window, it reminds me of my childhood in a faraway place in space and time.

It is amazing how easily our mind is able to stretch and connect and bridge one time with another through memory or imagination. After all, we have been through so many experiences perhaps thought our souls travel through many lifetimes, and yet all that is is now.

Because, really, time does not exist!
