    The Limit of Time

    I think more about time, its value, and limit. These are difficult ideas.

    Whatever I do is placed in time. Every breath I take. Things I hear and see, touch, taste and smell.

    However I act is placed in time. Time stores my sense of being alive. Time is where I come to know.

    Those things I value most exist outside of time.

    When I experience love, compassion and beauty I sense their nature unconstrained, unlimited by time.

    The Price of Time

    Time: a way to think about what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen.

    When I think of 'my time' I think of events and experiences that are constrained by my being present.

    Time is the place I live within. In order to acquire, I give my time: I do something.

    Money provides a model for me to sell my time. What and how much I do is given a price depending on my age, gender, location, culture, how attractive I am, and how skilled or clever I am perceived as.

    My Comfort and Unease

    Music that works best for me lies in a sweet spot between enough change, but not too much. I enjoy discord and variation of pulse, rhythm and volume. Discord provides drama and tension. If a piece is nothing but harmonious I feel it too sugary. I do not however enjoy music that is predominantly dissonant, or with patterns or forms I cannot gather by mind or instinct.

    Music I most love lets me feel both my comfort and unease.

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
