With any given phenomenon in nature—and especially if it is significant or striking—we should not stop and dwell on it, cling to it, and view it as existing in isolation.
Wonderful writing; and very synchronicitous to a book i recently delved into - i.e., Byung-Chul Han's, 'The Scent of Time'; wherein said writer attempts to shine a light (i.e., consciousness) on the fact that, thanks to the digital/information age, time has lost is inherent sense/scent of immanence; and, moreover, it is only when, as the protagonist of Marcel Proust's magnums opus, 'In Search of Lost Time' (aka, 'Remembrance of Things Past') discovers, man returns to a state of vita contemplativa (as opposed to today's state of, 'vita activa') that he can recapture/reinvigorate the mysterious, nay mystical sense/scent of time {in Proust's protagonist's case, it was via the sense(s) of taste/smell of a madeleine cake dipped in lime blossom tea that he was able to trigger a cascade of memories and feelings linking said sensations to his early childhood}; and, thereby, create: an image of self; an identity; a narrative; and, most significantly, an authentic/autochthonous human being. That is all! RGB-Y5 out!!
