Dude! That album! I haven't listened to a song yet, but I heard that he had an aya experience in Hawaii . . . I'm not sure if that had any influence on the album or not, but I can't wait to give it a listen. Thanks for posting it here. And TIME is an interesting topic you bring up. I love what you have to say about it - that "time just is" and "I can't control shit!" Those two phrases can only come after you've radically accepted. I've been thinking a lot about time lately (and words, too) . . . and how diiferent our world would be if the concept of time was never introduced, or language and words for that matter? I imagine that language probably started a little like purring like a panther. Eventually, with our 'big' brains and lots of TIME, we figured out how to cultivate those purrs and sounds to create words that actually formed some meaning. I'm still trying to figure out my relationship with time ~ Fascinating stuff and thought provoking. Thank you.
Thanks Brother! So interestingly, this song came about because of an aya experience he had. He talks about it in the interview I linked in the piece. Even though I wrote what I did, I am still trying to figure out my relationship with time as well. The whole album is incredible by the way. I too have thought how different things would be if the concept of time was never invented because that’s all it really is, a concept. It exists because someone at some point assigned a meaning and definition to it. How different would things be if we decided that one day was actually 48 hours instead of 24. I think about this stuff a lot lol. Same with color. How different would the world look if we assigned the name red to the color green and so forth? I don’t know, maybe I am reaching.
That's awesome. I'll definitely give it a listen soon. Both, actually. The interview and the album lol. Oh yeah, wow, color, could just be relative. I don't think we'd know the difference though so it could just be relative - we could go down so many rabbit holes with this . . . Fun to think about though. Regardless, time is important and a precious resource. The more I "age" the more prevalent that becomes. I'm sure you understand that, especially with having a kid. How do we cultivate time to be on our side, how do we slow down time? Maybe the answer is PRESENCE, maybe?
