Russell Chatham, The Heart of Winter
“Have you ever observed that time seems to be going by faster as you get older? There's a reason that one summer seems to stretch out forever when you're a kid, but zips by before you know it when you're 30. That reason is perspective, as a gorgeous interactive visualization, by Austrian designer Maximilian Kiener [ed. if this doesn’t work in IE, try another search engine], demonstrates.”
“When you're one year old, a year is literally forever to you -- it's all the time that you've ever known. But as you grow older, one year is a smaller and smaller fraction of your total life.” - WaPo
Gee, you mean Albert Einstein and I are not the only people to have discovered that the principle of perception applies to time as well as horizons?

How disappointing; I don’t feel quite so special anymore.
Butt how, then, do you explain the sensation that a 30 minute lecture on “gun safety” seems more like 300 hours?
And if often starts with the words…
“Let me make this perfectly clear…”
Which in Social Justice Warrior-speak means “make no mistake about it, this will not mean what you think it means you small-brained privileged white right-winged haters.”
So as the end of the world approaches at ever increasing speed I suggest we all just take a time out and comtemplate the Theory and Practice of Rivers.
“The head's a cloud anchor that the feet must follow. Travel light, he said, or don't travel at all.” ― Jim Harrison, The Theory & Practice Of Rivers
For Barry and his cloud anchor I vote for “don’t travel at all.”
