Time Magic

Think back, as far back as you can remember. Back to when memory and imagination start to run together. To that time when you were very, very small and the world was a carnival of bright colours populated by giants. Your mother's warm arms held you tight and yes and no, good and bad were so easy to understand. A long time ago. No matter how old you are, that was probably hard. I've noticed that the older you get the less those individual years seem to matter, so it should be about equally difficult for everybody reading this to remember what we understand to be a long time ago. "Long time ago," say those three words like a mantra, like a magic spell. They are magic. I'll show you. Think back farther, to when you were an infant. A long time ago. To v$^ss(st888^ when you saw and heard, felt and

thought - try it, it's not that hard - but weren't able to make sense of most of it. easel-less, That's about as far back as our human minds can go when we try to understand time. The length of our own existence is all we know. After that it's just meaningless numbers and a vague sense of distance as space takes the place of a dimension our minds can't grasp. Well, give up on it, that nagging shortfall is just an illusion. Our minds trick themselves into that we don't thinking fully grasp big —— r chunks of time, when in fact we don't understand them at all. I'm not talking about the time it takes a mountain to be

worn to sand, just, say, the amount of __ time it takes for an empire to rise and fall. Or for an oak tree to grow, or even for our grandchildren to grow old. We just can't do it. But then of course, comes the magic of Long Time Ago. That short incantation deceives us, becoming a shining bauble in the mind which is composed of nothing but takes the place of a greater understanding. It becomes the evil changeling child of intellect's workings, taking the place of what, say, two hundred years actually
