i think you can tell a lot about a person by the way they talk about time.
if time is something linear or cyclical. if they talk about their life as though it goes through seasons the way nature does or if it is something ever growing, always moving forward.
if they talk about failure as though it is several steps back on their timeline or simply a change of course.
if they describe the day according to the clock or to the sky. was it Sam or dawn?
8pm or twilight?
ilove to notice whether they speak as though the hours ahead are an opportunity or if they are an order.
i love to wonder,
is time something that carries them or something they are carrying?
i don't really know what to do with this knowledge. i just like having it.
i just like the thought that i can tell something
other than the time.
