My wife, who never ceases to amaze me, recently had a thought that I thought was excellent. We were discussing time, and how life seems to go by so quickly, and how it never seems like you can escape the timeline of life. She offered that if time were not a line, but a circle, it would be easier to swallow. That is, what if we imaged time as if moments weren’t just points on a grand line, but that every moment was one ring of a ever-growing circle. It’s a little vague at first, but it makes a lot of sense.

Imagine one point. Now a small ring forms around that point. In the next moment, the circle has a new ring around it. Time in this way is much more like a process, like growth. It makes a lot of sense for our lives. We are not just a point on a line. We are the sum of everything that has ever happened to us, everything that we’ve experience. It’s all within the circle.
