My metaphor for time, hmm. That’s a tough one as it can change from one moment (of time) to the next.

That Star Trek movie (Generations) has some nice metaphors for time including that one from Picard and one from the protagonist “Time is the fire in which we burn” which in itself is a quote from a poem by Delmore Schwartz called “Calmly We Walk”

I am a walking Star Trek encyclopedia lol

I just thought of my mum as a travelling companion. Sometimes we’d get so engrossed in something, we’d be together but unaware of each other; sometimes she’d have to sternly remind me to be respectful of her and at other times she’d urge me to get a move on when she knew that dawdling was detrimental. But she was always there to hold my hand on the journey.

Thank you, Marc.
