No Filler

We gain and we lose and vice versa and whatever. That’s change. That’s just the concept by which time acquires definition. Energy collected and transformed and released and collected again.

We are "this" because we are no longer "that". Because the universe has moved on. Because everything occurs in this fateful transition. Between seconds, between people. Between then and now. Between now and whatever comes after.

We aren't just moments scattered far and wide across space and time. It’s only our fragmented memory-sense that makes it seem so. We aren't individual photographs. We aren't 24 film frames per second.

We are every event of our lives and everything that happens in between. There is no filler. Then, now and when whatever comes after: we are this...

...and this is everything.
