What is Time?

For those who see time not as a linear sequence of events, but rather a topographical tapestry of interwoven experiences, every birth is death, every crypt a womb, every moment a mere fleck of paint on a canvas soaked in scarlet.

We kill ourselves every day in a futile effort to forget the inevitability of our demise. Were we one, would we still be mortal?
