"You seem to be going backwards in time."

The difference between going backwards in time, in the fashion I suppose of Benjamin Button, and "getting younger", is that time is a difficult dimension in which to travel, other than going along with the flow, but getting younger is merely a cultivation of youthfulness; its attitudes and energies.

The young are fascinated by the wonders of the world, its rainbows and quirky gadgets like spinning tops and magnetism. They are spellbound by its flashy colors and bright images, the hummingbirds of thought that flit into our consciousness to coalesce our focus, and then disappear again.

I pursue these things, not in hopes of catching them, but because I wish to live among them, and have them surround me like mental toys and playthings.

The cleanup has been derailed because all the participants needed to eat (and a Restorative). We’re in search of two missing “Thomas the Tank Engine” puzzle pieces, which we had just yesterday when the puzzle was opened.

Wellnow. It seems I heard on some brainiac science show that going back in time, were it possible, would only take one as far as the day the time machine was actually functioning.

Your take on time and Time is much more interesting than mine, for sure!
