SPENCER: there's different strands of time...going on at the same time.
RAISA: within time.
SPENCER: So when it's outside of us it feels like it's passing, and inside of us it feels like it's stopped.
RAISA: Has it stopped or is it just because we're just in it? we're in it and we're moving and we're moving with it, so there's no... like when you're in this river it's carrying you, there's no: 'this river is flowing 5mph...', no. i'm just flowing in the river.
SPENCER: mmm....yeah, but in the flowing there's no perception of...the time continuum, it's as if... umm... everything is alive and vibrant outside of time. time has no...umm...effect on...aliveness.
RAISA: yeah...i mean,time, it's a stupid word. it doesn't really exist unless there's a human who's...
SPENCER: so i think that's really juicy, do we make time up?
Time is juicy? hmmmmm....
ReplyDeletewe make time up in as much as we pay a lot of attention to it - in as much as we´re obessed to the point it actually has an aging effect on us, but maybe if we could just turn away from time, melt the clocks as it were, maybe it would stop. we do have some keys to escaping it. i think memory and time are very interesting. memories do not arise in the memory in chronological order after all - they are much more aligned to context, particularly physical surroundings... if i tell you my memories about tadpoles we could get into a hour long conversation about all of our memories about amphibians. i think this ability to time travel in memories is - i dont know - juicy?
