dennis -

It's a mystery to me, really. I went with it two ways when I was in college - math/physics for awhile and then philosophy/literature. I took a Space/Time/Relativity class that was really tough, but great, because we had to do the math/physics *and* do narrative description. We girls are not known for excellence with equations and I was in a class full of arrogant physics majors, so when I set the curve on the first exam the prof (who was great) made a point of noting it. I was embarassed but appreciated the dropped jaw effect. The equations were fun, but it was the literature & phil that really stayed with me as a way of meditating on that mystery, but language is strange and mysterious to me so that's why I like that stuff. (I didn't talk until I was three, but when I finally spoke I did so in complete sentences. I have a freaky learning curve :) sloooooow learner.

I know it's geeky to approach it in a collegiate way, but that's what I have to offer. If you're interested, I'll try to dig up some stuff for you to read. I like playing librarian.

p.s. I'm particularly fond of the time-bodies-language web. Have you thought about that?

p.p.s. Thanks for the post. It got my mind going a bit.

> What is time? Is time just a perception of life? There are a few people who say time doesnt exist. What is time if your dead, you know what I mean? There is no time if your dead. Everything in the world has been defined except for time, everything has a relationship with something else, but time stands alone. right?
