Time to time, I suspect we all glibly repeat, if only as self-talk, Gautama’s alchemically enervating observation, “Time is not; space is not.” Yet, down here in the fallen estate, time seems so stretched and in-our-face that more often than not, we consign Gautama’s key to wise dominion to the forgettery.
