A sort of instinctual unease comes over me whenever the subject of time comes up — whether in an undergraduate philosophy class or on a meditation retreat. I instantly feel a tightening in my gut.
Time is my prison. As soon as I awake, I feel the steel gate swing shut on me. I feel its rattle in my bones.
