All through the ages people were fascinated with what we call time. The perception of time is in the eye of the beholder and could be very different. We know numeric and divine time, of time circles and wheels of time. Many ancient cultures including Ancient Greek, Babylonian, Buddhist, Hindu, Inca, Maya and other Native American cultures believe that time is cyclical, repeating ages that happens to all beings of the universe. Christians in general see time linear with the creation and ending with the end of the world. Others suggest that time is like a ray, with a beginning but with no end going on forever. Since ancient Greek we know of a chronological and a divine Time [Chronos and Kairos] Scientists add another point of view. Newton and Einstein and the String Theory in mine as our own experience; we know how relative time is. How relative? Just think of the difference of an hour at the dentist or on tropical beach. But however; time is made from moments and humans are made to seize the moments. I like to see time as a river and my first concept for the theme was to work with floating water but changed my mine for several reasons one of the main reasons that water would not be without the light. The light was first.
