Boundless is-ness always flowing
time out of linear mind
still flowing
over the stones
in the stream
The Algonquin word “Patuxent” means water running over smooth pebbles.

traditional peoples around the world had a different relation with time than our relation to dominant modern time
we can adhere to both quantifiable linear and boundless non-directional concepts of time
a commodity to be managed or an ever-present transience
both efficient in their own ways: a flowing form of duality within the formless timeless whole
needing to go by both past/present/future linear time and wanting to be totally ‘in the moment’
when keeping time by discrete units of measure and beats
we can still can be with what is — the boundless is-ness always flowing
flowing from stillness
or from an earthly perspective
revolving like the phases of the moon
be with me
you died a long time ago and were reborn
