Some people skip through life. Others are dragged through it. I sometimes wonder if we are moving through time, or whether time is moving through us. Light, unlike anything else in the universe is not effected by time. Light exists outside of time.. It is still a mystery to physicists.

When you fly across the country in an airplane the country seems vast but it isn't vast. It's all connected by roads one can ride a bike down.
