Trail running through time
When trail running fast down hills time slows down…..literally. I’ve always said it has made my eyes better. Which may be true. But the real transformation is my brain moving through time and space, creating entropy, the only thing that produces what we understand as time in our understanding of the world, and in turn, the space we are moving through.
At the smallest level of what we understand as the makings of the structure of the world, probable outcomes can be predicted through interactions with chaotic quantum particles. The only fundamental law of the universe that can’t automatically bounce back from its original state is heat (thermal), the foundation of entropy.
We live in a world of events. Not things. And we only have time because we can’t understand the makings of our vast incredible universe (be careful playing God rather than listening to the whispers), but we try to using light, and the things we can see and feel and predict….our daily moments, choices, consequences, joys, and of course pain and sufferings….which we typically equate to times or seasons of our lives, our experiences, our own, in our own time, just as we are individuals created in His image.
Time has different meanings in every location on earth, depending on altitude, distance from the center of our earth, and by moving through time and space ourselves. The first has the fastest time, second slower based on closer location to a mass which in our world is earth’s gravitational center (yay beaches), and the last slows down more and more as our speed increases.
Man I love trail running and slowing down the thing that has always slowed me down my entire life and been the most controlling aspect. Time. Ironically with so many people dying daily, we continually believe we have all the time in the world. But since it doesn’t exist, or the present for that matter, we really don’t have any time left at all, since we never had it to begin with. Thank God for that.
