A Meditation
How does one tell time? Why do we tell,
rather than read or decipher or measure, time? What does time give away? What
if a crystal should survive the humanly measurable universe in order to keep on
ticking, in imitation of a human heartbeat, with attracting and repelling
protons and neutrons, long after there is no one left to smile, no one left to
care about measuring the duration of mere duration. It would appear that its
length is the same by any measure.
