Time seems to fly by, but where is it going?

On one hand it feels like we leave the moments in our wake, as if the years, days and minutes of our lives are back there, lined up behind us.

Yet time and time again, similar situations re-present themselves. Fashions come back in style, the seasons return, the sun rises again, and we wake another day to face new challenges in different forms. In this sense, it’s as if time is moving in one big circle.

So is time linear or circular? Perhaps it is both, like a big 3D spiral or vortex. On one hand we seem to be moving forward towards our final destination, yet on another, it’s as if we’re swirling around that point over and over again, becoming more and more intimate with it as the spiral tightens…

…time spinning faster and faster, until finally, time itself collapses in on itself, and we are left with no other choice, but to slip into the resulting hole and rest in the timelessness of our souls.
