Accidental Shift in Perception

I pondered briefly on it being an old photo from long ago, then thought to myself that time is all one, the past is not far away, it is here as much as the present.

I think perhaps for me, rather than mass or length, time is some sort of doorway to understanding something 'else'.

I can't help recalling that now well over 40 years ago I had several unexpected experiences which helped me to understand something about time. Rather than describe it all over again I'll just link to it:

Apologies to those who have read the above post already.

I'll just add the further comment that past-lives too have been a key to my making sense of this life and consider very much that the past is very close by, just adjacent where it seems to be standing side-by-side with me, merging at times.
